OECHSLER, a leading polymer technology group serving customers worldwide in automotive, healthcare and innovative technologies as well as industrial solutions, is ready to take responsibility. At the World Climate Conference in Paris in 2015, 197 countries and the EU committed to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees by 2100 with the Paris Climate Agreement. To achieve the 1.5-degree target, greenhouse gas emissions will need to halve by 2030 - and to net zero by 2050. To become part of the solution, OECHSLER has joined the Science Based Target Initiative and started to look at its product carbon footprint (PCF). By calculating the PCF, OECHSLER identified a development opportunity in the manufacturing process – it’s the emissions that come from its materials.
