Product Carbon Footprint
Inhibitors & Enhancers

Certified climate performance, measurable impact
CroxX’s inhibitor solutions contribute actively to climate protection by reducing greenhouse gas emissions after fertilizer application. Their carbon footprint has been calculated and verified according to ISO 14067:2018, the international standard for product-level greenhouse gas accounting.

What is a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)?
A Product Carbon Footprint represents the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product, expressed as CO​₂ equivalents (CO₂-e). It provides a transparent measure of its climate impact and covers all relevant life cycle stages, from raw material extraction to application in the field.

How we calculate the carbon footprint
Our life-cycle approach considers every significant source of greenhouse gases through the product’s life cycle:

  • Raw Materials: sourcing and production of all components.
  • Manufacturing: energy use and emissions from our production facilities.
  • Transport: logistics from ingredient suppliers and intermediate products.
  • Application: emissions and environmental effects after fertilizer application.

How our inhibitors reduce emissions
When conventional fertilizers are applied, nitrogen can be lost as ammonia (NH₃), nitrous oxide (NO), or through nitrate (NO-) leaching. Our inhibitors slow down nitrogen-transformation processes, reducing losses at all intermediate stages. As a result, reactive nitrogen is transformed efficiently into plant biomass rather than greenhouse gases, achieving a tangible reduction in CO₂-e emissions.

Your benefits from our certified carbon footprint

  • Emission reporting: Integrate verified PCF data into your corporate carbon accounting.
  • Supply chain transparency: Provide certified emission data to customers and partners to document climate performance along the value chain.
  • Responsible Communication: Use ISO-verified data to support your sustainability claims.

Upon request, we provide Product Carbon Footprint Certificates that summarize the key figures and emission reductions achieved with our inhibitors.
