Product-specific data
Account for materials, fabric formation, supplier processes, energy and geography.
Dynamic calculations
Refresh footprints as primary supplier data improves or product specifications change.
Recognised methods
Work with ISO, PEF and ADEME-aligned calculation and reporting requirements.
Trusted by fashion and retail teams
Build the footprint from the product that was actually made.
Connect the product specification to the material, fabric formation, manufacturing and supplier records behind it. Every input keeps its source, geography and evidence status.
- Product and material composition by weight
- Fabric formation and process-level supplier data
- Packaging, transport, use and end-of-life inputs

Use each facility’s location, process and energy mix to create primary LCA datasets. When a facility decarbonizes, its factor recalculates and the improvement flows into every connected product footprint.

Calculate the complete lifecycle in one controlled engine.
Combine approved secondary datasets with product and supplier-specific evidence. Carbon is one of approximately 20 LCA impact indicators—the same calculation also covers water use, eutrophication, resource use, ecotoxicity and more.

Carbon Trail automatically fills missing product inputs, highlights every filled value for review and explains the reasoning behind it. Teams can replace any filled value when primary data becomes available.
- Allocate product weight intelligently across main and lining fabrics
- Review the reasoning and evidence behind every filled value
- Replace filled values and recalculate when primary data arrives

FAQs
Answers about product data, supplier-specific factors, data gaps, methodology alignment and reporting.
Which product data can Carbon Trail use for an LCA?
Carbon Trail can bring together product specifications, material composition, fabric formation, manufacturing processes, supplier and facility data, geography, transport, packaging, use and end-of-life assumptions. The source and quality of each input remain visible in the calculation record.
How does primary supplier data improve a product footprint?
Supplier location, process-level energy use and energy mix can replace broader secondary assumptions with product and facility-specific evidence. Carbon Trail retains the factor source and connects it to the products and processes where it is used.
What happens when product data is missing?
Missing inputs are flagged for review. Carbon Trail can suggest an appropriate proxy or default so teams can begin calculating, while keeping the assumption visible and allowing it to be replaced when primary data becomes available.
Do footprints update when product or supplier data changes?
Yes. Connected product footprints can be recalculated when specifications, sourcing, supplier processes, energy data or approved factors change, so the collection view reflects the latest governed inputs.
Which LCA standards does Carbon Trail support?
Carbon Trail supports product footprint work aligned with recognised methodologies including ISO 14040/44, ISO 14067, Product Environmental Footprint requirements and relevant ADEME methods.
Can we export product-level evidence for review?
Yes. Teams can review the methodology, activity data, emission factors, assumptions and data-quality evidence behind a footprint, then export product-level LCA reports in PDF and Excel formats.
