CO2 CALCULATOR
See how much your CO2 emissions can decrease by switching from EPDM to TPE
Get an indicative estimate of how material choice can affect emissions. The calculator is based on cradle-to-gate (A1–A3) CO2e emission factors per kilogram.

ILLUSTRATIVE COMPARISON
How many mature trees’ annual carbon sequestration does this difference correspond to?
The forest below is an illustrative visualization. The exact estimate is shown as a number.
78 trees / year
0–10 trees Small grove
11–25 trees Light forest
26–50 trees Young forest
51–100 trees Established forest
101–200 trees Dense forest
201–350 trees Thick forest
351+ trees Extensive forest
1 tree ≈ 80 kg CO2e absorbed per year Established forest
Note:
This calculation is indicative and based on material-specific emission factors per kilogram.
The actual impact depends on the material formulation, additives, manufacturing process, logistics and waste.
