Carbon Management

Carbon management starts by identifying where greenhouse gas emissions come from. Orion MoMixx uses that approach for its own operations and products. The same kind of assessment is also offered to customers as a separate service.

Where emissions are counted

These three scopes are the categories used to organize an inventory. This page does not publish an Orion MoMixx emissions total.

  1. Scope 1

    Direct emissions from sources the organization owns or controls, such as fuel combustion.

  2. Scope 2

    Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling.

  3. Scope 3

    Other value-chain emissions, including purchased materials, transport, and waste treatment.

A product carbon footprint

A product assessment follows defined lifecycle stages. For a silicone material, those stages can include the four below. Results are published only when a specific study has been completed.

  1. 01

    Raw materials

    Emissions from sourcing and producing the inputs.

  2. 02

    Manufacturing

    Energy use and emissions from the production process.

  3. 03

    Transportation

    Logistics included in the defined lifecycle.

  4. 04

    End of life

    Waste treatment, recovery, or recycling, when that stage is part of the study.

Energy and material losses in production are covered under Responsible Manufacturing. Recovered silicone is covered under Recycling & Circular Economy. Renewable energy for manufacturing is explored here as part of carbon management, not as a completed change of energy supply.

Energy use, activity data for greenhouse gases, and resource use are the records used to see patterns and choose what to improve. Performance figures are published when they have been verified.

Assessment for customers

A product carbon footprint has been verified in accordance with ISO 14067, and life cycle assessments have been carried out for Orion MoMixx products. Assessment for a customer’s organization or product is a separate service.

  • Organizational greenhouse gas accounting, aligned with ISO 14064-1
  • Product carbon footprint assessment, aligned with ISO 14067
  • Life cycle assessment, aligned with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044
  • Environmental monitoring of energy, emissions, and resource use

Discuss a carbon or material question

We can talk about a product footprint, environmental performance, or a silicone material. Customer assessment and our own carbon work stay separate.
