To quantify their carbon footprint, we aim to provide a greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment that identifies significant GHG emissions. Wool Impact have been working hard to calculate the emissions per kg of strong wool. With this key piece of information, and once we obtain data from the scouring operation, Wisewool will have an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the GHG emissions associated with their operations and with their products.
Once emissions are known, Wisewool, scourers, and farmers can work together to reduce environmental impacts.
