Environmental intelligence platform - built for apparel and footwear brands, and their suppliers.
What’s are the CO2e emissions of Sbr Synthetic Rubber?
The carbon footprint of SBR synthetic rubber ranges from 2.1 kg CO2e per kg (median) to 2.2 kg CO2e per kg (average), with CO2 emissions from SBR synthetic rubber primarily driven by energy-intensive polymerization processes and petrochemical feedstocks. Greenhouse gas emissions from SBR synthetic rubber reflect its petroleum-based production chain.
- Average footprint per kg: 2.2 kgCO2e
- Median footprint per kg: 2.1 kgCO2e
How Does Sbr Synthetic Rubber Compare to Alternatives?
Virgin SBR synthetic rubber production generates 2.2 kg CO2e per kg, while recycled production emits 2.8 kg CO2e per kg, making virgin material the lower-carbon option in this case.
- Virgin Sbr Synthetic Rubber per kg: 2.2 kgCO2e
- Recycled Sbr Synthetic Rubber per kg: 2.8 kgCO2e
Sbr Synthetic Rubber Water Consumption
The water footprint Sbr Synthetic Rubber per kg averages 0.7 m3 for virgin production, while water usage Sbr Synthetic Rubber from recycled sources requires 0.9 m3, making Sbr Synthetic Rubber water consumption notably higher when recycled.
- Average water use per kg: 0.7 m3
- Median water use per kg: 0.6 m3

Case study
"Shoes can consist of up to 1500 components. Before Carbonfact, we asked our developers to weigh every single piece but such a manual approach is not scalable. Carbonfact helped us in deriving rules to overcome data gaps by creating accurate assumptions."

Case study
"With Carbonfact we can do full product LCAs on all of our products. Thanks to measuring things early on, we can simulate how a new product is going to have a different impact compared to the current version. For example, one of our new products is expected to decrease its footprint by a fourth just by designing it differently."
Strategy & Sustainability at La Sportiva
Case study
"We needed a solution that could handle the complexities of the apparel supply chain, provide year-to-date insights, and support with detailed scenario analyses for our supply chain. For us Carbonfact is not just a Carbon Management Software, but an extension of our sustainability team."

Case study
"What's really special about Carbonfact is the way that it can work alongside the VF brands to help identify where there are gaps in our product impact data. But also helping us bridge towards improving that data. So it's much more of a partner to solve the challenges we have."
Senior Sustainability Manager, The Northface
Case study
"The Explorer is, for sure, my favorite feature. I love the ability to look at the breakdown of the carbon footprint per product line, for processes or on a material basis. That's so dynamic that we're able to leverage it in different ways depending on the projects that we're working on or the teams that we're engaging with."

"Carbonfact's offerings, particularly its product-level focus for footwear and apparel, ensures we can both measure our carbon footprint and actively find ways to reduce it. Carbonfact has been instrumental in helping us model different scenarios and make informed decisions that align with our sustainability goals."
Sustainability at Allbirds
Case study
"We have moved from spend-based carbon accounting into Carbonfact to prioritize primary data and get more accurate calculations. The main reason for us to choose Carbonfact is that we now not only get our company's total carbon footprint but also break it down for each of our products."
