This included the phases of procurement and pre-treatment of raw materials, product production and sales through to use and waste recycling. The carbon footprint data from the production and manufacturing phase was collected by collecting, sorting and reviewing data from the early stages from suppliers and the company itself through the application of data modeling techniques. To produce lifecycle carbon footprint statistics for the application phase for several target export countries, product energy consumption testing standards were used, including EU No. 2019/2023, EN 60456:2006+A11:2020 and EN IEC 62512 standards :2020+A11:2020.
