CERATIZIT Launches Groundbreaking PCF Standard for Cemented Carbide Products

In this episode of the North West Aerospace Alliance News podcast, Emma and Daniel discuss CERATIZIT's launch of the first Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) standard for cemented carbide products. The PCF standard measures greenhouse gas emissions across a product's life cycle, offering customers detailed insights into the environmental impact of their purchases. With an alphabetical classification from A to F, the standard helps companies track and reduce their emissions. The episode covers the three service levels of the PCF offering, including free access to PCF classes, average PCF values, and detailed product-specific data. Special focus is given to upGRADE products, made from 100% secondary raw materials with significantly lower PCFs. Emma and Daniel also discuss the third-party verification of the model and how to access more information. This initiative represents a major step toward a more sustainable future in the aerospace and hard metal industries.
