The company calculates the CO2 equivalent, per component, for nearly
all catalogue products produced in the 16 standard iglidur materials. By mid 2024, igus also aims to show the carbon content for all igus products – over 100,000 individual SKUs. Most igus products and its proprietary polymers are made from polymer
resins sourced from suppliers with which the company has long, strong, relationships. They provide the carbon content by volume for the raw material. “To this we calculate and add carbon in transportation and other energy expenditure until the products have reached the igus factory,” explained igus UK managing director, Matthew Aldridge. “Our goal is to calculate this as precisely as possible.” igus in Cologne, Germany, is obliged to report the equivalent of Scope 1 and
Scope 2 carbon emissions, these being the direct emissions produced from owned or controlled sources, and indirect emissions from purchased energy. The company uses special software to calculate the carbon footprint and all the GHG emissions that take place within the company. This data reveals the
areas that need greater focus. “The more data
we collect now, the better we can become in the future,” said Aldridge. “For example, we can calculate the carbon footprint in advance when developing new products and can take this into account in our product development.” Furthermore, the company plans to be carbon neutral with regards to its
headquarters, factory and buildings in 2025, including all direct GHG emissions that arise in connection with the operation of the buildings and the factory.
