This confirmation, which is based on an external study conducted by an independent organization – ITECONS - reinforces the leading position of the Navicork by Amorim brand in promoting a more sustainable future for the maritime industry, encouraging the sector to adopt innovative solutions that have a positive environmental impact.
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), conducted in accordance with strict international standards (EN ISO 14040, EN ISO 14044 and EN 15804), has confirmed that each square metre of Navicork FD01 material retains more CO₂ than it emits, throughout the entire production cycle - from cork extraction until leaving the factory gate ("cradle-to-gate").
The results indicate a carbon footprint of -0.97 kg CO₂ eq./m² for the 6 mm thickness and -0.69 kg CO₂ eq./m² for the 8 mm thickness."
