New Online Tool - Calculate your Plastics CO2 equivalent (CO2e) Savings Potential

Hello and welcome to this post. I created an online calculator which allows you to quickly calculate the CO2 equivalent (CO2e) savings potential for your application.

Try the new tool out here

How to run the calculation

1) select you current material (if your material is not in the list, please reach out to me) 

2) select the alternative material 

3) enter the material usage per year in kg 

4) then your potential CO2 saving will be automatically calculated (cradle-to-gate)

If you want a more detailed calculation, please reach out to me under "contact me"

Example metal replacement (magnesium) vs Polyamide

Figure 1 shows the user interface of the calculator and the input values for the metal replacement example. As a result, changing from Magnesium to Polyamide 6.6 has a CO2e saving potential of 47%.

Figure 1: Example of the potential CO2e savings when switching from Magnesium to PA 6.6.

The calculator contains 100% mechanically recycled polymers too, including glass-fiber reinforced materials. Also, continuously new polymers will be added. 


Thanks for reading and #findoutaboutplastics
