Product carbon footprinting: from formulation data to better decisions
Product carbon is hard to act on when the footprint sits in a separate spreadsheet, calculated after the formulation work is done. Product teams need to see which inputs shape a footprint while they still have options.
Uncountable turns formulation data into a repeatable product carbon workflow. Teams choose a calculation for each material family, connect ingredient quantities, CO2e values, and primary data fields, and review the footprint value, input coverage, and primary data share beside the experiment.
The top contributors show where the carbon sits. In the brief's coatings example, titanium dioxide accounts for 60.9% of a 1.05 kg CO2e/kg footprint, and Bodie AI Agent can suggest lower-carbon alternatives. Teams compare footprints with performance results across experiments, and close data gaps by adding missing CO2e values from the panel.
This solution brief is for R&D, product, and sustainability teams who want product carbon visible during formulation decisions.
Inside this solution brief:
- How to define, connect, and review a product carbon calculation in three steps
- Footprint value, input coverage, and primary data share beside each experiment
- Finding the hotspot and asking Bodie AI Agent for lower-carbon alternatives
- Comparing footprints and performance results across formulations
- Closing data gaps for inputs with no CO2e value
Make sustainability measurable in the same place you make formulation decisions.
FAQs
It turns formulation data into a repeatable product carbon workflow. Teams configure a calculation for each material family, connect ingredient quantities, CO2e values, and primary data fields, and review the resulting footprint, its contributors, and its data coverage beside the experiment during formulation decisions.
Each footprint lists its top contributors with their kg CO2e/kg value and share of the total, and flags the hotspot. In the brief's example, titanium dioxide contributes 0.638 of a 1.05 kg CO2e/kg footprint, or 60.9%. Teams can then ask Bodie AI Agent for lower-carbon alternatives.
Yes. Beside the footprint value, Uncountable shows input coverage, such as 7 of 7 inputs with a value, and the primary data share, such as 93.0%, so teams can judge how complete and well-sourced the footprint is.
A Missing Values panel lists each input with no CO2e value, for example a new supplier's in-can biocide, with a warning. Users can add the value directly from the panel to close the data gap.
No. Bodie AI Agent runs in your tenant, and formulation data never trains foundation models.
