🌍 Earth Day 2026 | Our Power Starts with Materials

TYC Launches Carbon Calculator to Quantify the Impact of Recycled Plastics

As companies move toward net zero, carbon management is expanding beyond energy consumption to include material selection.
Material carbon footprint has become a key driver of Scope 3 emissions—especially under Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods & Services), where materials often account for the largest share.

In alignment with the 2026 Earth Day theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” TYC introduces its Carbon Calculator to help companies quantify the carbon impact of recycled plastics and turn ESG from concept into actionable decision-making.

🔍 Why Materials Matter

For most companies, emissions are not primarily generated during product use,
but during production—through the materials used.

By adopting recycled materials, companies can:

• Reduce Scope 3 emissions (especially Category 1)
• Lower reliance on virgin plastics
• Strengthen supply chain decarbonization
• Enhance low-carbon product competitiveness

📊 Carbon Calculator | From Input to Insight

The TYC Carbon Calculator enables fast, intuitive analysis. Simply input:

• Annual material usage (kg) or unit weight
• Material type (PP / HDPE / LDPE)
• Recycled content ratio (30% / 50% / 100%)

And instantly receive:

• Carbon footprint
• Scope 3 reduction potential
• Reduction percentage
• Equivalency metrics (cars / trees)
• Carbon cost estimation (internal carbon pricing)

💡 TYC Perspective | Power = Decision Capability

Earth Day is not only about awareness—it is about capability.

“Our Power” is defined by a company’s ability to:

• See carbon
• Measure carbon
• Act on carbon

Material selection is no longer just a design choice—
it is a strategic lever for decarbonization.
