Carbon Footprint

Every production process can have a side impact on the environment. These impacts can affect water, soil, air, and other environmental elements. One of the quantifiable impacts on the life cycle of a pair of shoes is the carbon emissions released during each stage of production. Cheah et al. (2012) explained in the results of their research that a pair of shoes can contribute 14 kg of total carbon emissions in its life cycle.

The largest contributor to carbon emission is in the manufacturing process of 9.5 kg CO2 -equivalent followed by carbon emissions from materials of 4 kg CO2 -equivalent. Pijakbumi has taken control to measure in the selection and using materials, and how the shoes that Pijakbumi produces end up in the hands of consumers.
