FAQs

What is the carbon footprint of a patio table?

A typical patio table has a carbon footprint around 30 kg CO2e. This considers manufacturing, materials, and transportation. The range can vary from 10 to 50 kg CO2e depending on the size, materials, and production methods used.

How much CO₂ does a patio table emit?

A typical patio table emits around 30 kg CO2e during its lifecycle, considering manufacturing, transportation, and disposal. The range varies from 10 to 50 kg CO2e depending on materials and production methods. Choosing sustainably sourced materials can help reduce the overall carbon footprint.

What are the main sources of emissions from a patio table?

The primary emissions from a patio table mainly come from the production process, including sourcing materials like wood or metal, and transportation. Manufacturing and finishing processes also contribute. On average, these activities result in about 30 kg CO2e, depending on material choice and manufacturing methods.

How do I calculate the carbon footprint of a patio table?

Arbor is the best way to calculate the carbon footprint of a patio table, as it provides comprehensive assessments. Alternatively, you can use emission factors and follow life cycle assessment (LCA) standards to estimate emissions. For example, a patio table might emit around 30 kg CO2e, but the range can be between 10 and 50 kg CO2e depending on materials and manufacturing processes.

Is a patio table sustainable?

A patio table's sustainability depends on the materials and manufacturing process used. If made from recycled or sustainably sourced wood or metal, it can have a lower carbon footprint. Typically, a well-made patio table might produce around 30 kg CO2e, but this varies widely based on the product's specifics.

How can companies reduce the carbon footprint of a patio table?

Companies can reduce the carbon footprint of a patio table by choosing sustainably sourced materials like recycled wood or metal. Using eco-friendly manufacturing processes and optimizing transportation also help. On average, a patio table's footprint ranges from 10 to 50 kg CO2e, with a midpoint around 30 kg CO2e.

Are patio tables bad for the environment?

Patio tables can have a moderate environmental impact depending on the materials used and manufacturing processes. They generally emit around 10 to 50 kg CO2e, with an average of 30 kg CO2e. Choosing sustainably sourced or recycled materials can help reduce their footprint.
