The Carbon Footprints and Equipments Energy Consumption Assessment for Bicycle Rubber-Tire

Abstract

Abstract High-priced rubber tires are important key components in the bicycle industry chain. The annual bicycle tire output is about 150,000 product lines in Taiwan. Relevant carbon emission inventory data analysis is the focus of the industry’s sustainable development and circular economy. Most researches study paper did not completely disclose supply chain inventory data. Relative comparison this bicycle rubber-tire case industry chain is more complete and the inventory data is more detailed. This tire product case study is original and compiles exclusive Taiwan local activity data and carbon emission database. The important investigation results are as follows: (1)A single product is a functional unit of 561g bicycle rubber-tire carbon emissions of 1.64kgCO2e. Internationally verified BSI certification.(2)The analysis result meets the Monte Carlo analysis requirements. (3)This important practical case study completed two major central factories and five satellite suppliers to check the local activity data, equipment energy consumption and carbon footprint emissions, confirmed by a third party international verification unit BSI. (4)The application and review of the B to B product carbon-label were completed, it can be used for international marketing. The database and practical results published in this paper can be used as a reference for academics and business circles.
