However, many manufacturing companies struggle to calculate precise product carbon footprints due to the complexity of integrating data from various systems, or lack of time to develop the tools necessary, which leads to high uncertainty in their reports. This paper introduces a highly customizable Open-source tool for calculating product carbon footprints based on ISO 14067 and CSRD guidelines using a container-based microservices architecture. The tool ensures scalability, ease of use, and data security, working with existing manufacturing digital tools and providing clear carbon footprint visualizations to enhance companies’ sustainability efforts.} } @COMMENT{Bibtex file generated on }
