Carbon footprint

Since 2018, we have been recording and calculating climate-impacting emissions. Carbon footprint calculations are based on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting standard. The amount of emission is given in metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) of BOPP film production – Alupol Films Sp. z o.o (Mg CO2e/year)

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions in 2019/2020 is related to the launch of the second line and over 100% increase in production. By 2024, we have reduced the production of one ton of our BOPP film by more than 25% compared to 2018.
