Carbon balance
Study 2012

To understand the sustainability of silicone-derived products, the Global Silicones Council (GSC) has conducted a comprehensive 'cradle to grave' study on their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This research updates a 2002 life cycle inventory and aims to provide industry benchmarks for GHG impacts, aiding in performance assessment and identification of improvement areas. Amidst growing public concern about climate change and the environmental impact of manufacturing, this study serves as a critical component of the sustainability strategy for silicone products.
