Challenge
Berger Textiles, part of the Spandex Group, offer a wide portfolio of textiles and fabrics used in signage, printing, graphics, stage events and more. As part of their commitment to sustainability, they sought to assess the environmental impact of their products to align with growing industry demands for sustainable solutions.
Solution
To address the challenge, CarbonQuota undertook a comprehensive analysis of their supply chains. The process involved meticulous mapping of the entire production process – from raw material sourcing and processing to the final product. We provided detailed environmental metrics that were clearly presented in a carbon footprint per square metre format, making the data accessible and understandable for all stakeholders. The assessment adhered to relevant international standards and incorporated insights from Berger’s internal experts and analysts to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Outcomes
Comparison of environmental performance
CarbonQuota’s clear and concise metrics allowed users to easily compare the environmental performance of different products. This was made possible through product data sheets that included a straightforward carbon footprint per square metre, helping customers make more informed purchasing decisions.
Connected supply chain
With the new carbon footprint insights, Berger’s customers were able to extend the environmental analysis throughout their supply chains. They could now assess the final manufacturing and end-of-life impacts of products, offering opportunities to refine their procurement practices – such as specifying cut sizes and reducing the environmental impact of their production processes.
Transparency and verification
By using our independent third-party verification process, Berger were able to demonstrate that their footprint calculations were accurate and trustworthy. Adding credibility to their environmental claims, ensuring transparency throughout their sustainability efforts.
“CarbonQuota’s third-party validation confirmed our materials’ lower carbon footprint, providing the credibility we needed with customers. This certification has transformed our market approach and significantly boosted our product sales. Their assessment has proven invaluable in meeting growing customer demand for sustainable solutions.“
Conclusion
By leveraging CarbonQuota’s expertise in environmental assessments, Berger Textiles have not only gained a deeper understanding of their products’ environmental impacts but also enhanced their market competitiveness. The ability to present independently verified, transparent carbon footprint data has empowered them to meet the ever-increasing consumer demand for sustainable products, ultimately contributing to their business’ success.
