| Scope | Category | Environmental Exit Signs | Preform PL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Direct Emissions | Not relevant as this includes emissions for owned or managed sources such as heating, cooling, vehicles and refrigerants. | |
| Scope 2 | Indirect Emissions | Decrease in indirect emissions from electricity usage as Environmental Exit Signs require minimal to no power. | Decrease in indirect emissions from electricity usage due to replacing the need for electric lights (e.g. road lighting and path lighting). |
| Scope 3 (Upstream) | Supplier Emissions | Lower emissions from supply chains due to reduced production of batteries, electrical circuitry and plastics. | Lower emissions from supply chains due to reduced production of poles, lighting fixtures, electrical wiring, lamps, transport and supplier operations. |
| Scope 3 (Upstream) | Waste Reduction | Avoids waste from toxic batteries, electrical circuitry and plastics in existing electric, battery-reliant exit signs. | Lower emissions from reduced material use and less installation waste from electrical lighting. |
| Scope 3 (Upstream) | Raw Material Extraction | Reduced emissions from the extraction of raw materials such as lithium, copper, lead, zinc and aluminum etc. | Reduced emissions from less steel, aluminium, plastics, glass, phosphors and copper needed for electrical lighting. This also conserves natural resources and decreases environmental degradation. |
| Scope 3 (Downstream) | Customer Usage | Reduced emissions resulting from extended service life (16 or 30 years), and reduced maintenance and disposal. | Reduced emissions from electric lighting compared to zero operational emissions for PL Linemarking. There are also reduced maintenance, life cycle and disposal emissions. |
| Scope 3 (Downstream) | End-of-Life Recycling | Environmental Exit Signs last at least 4 to 7.5 times longer and are designed for disassembly, reuse or recycling. This reduces end-of-life emissions compared to short-lived electric, battery-reliant exit signs that are not designed to last or disassemble. | Reduced end-of-life emissions from the transport, collection and disposal or recycling of electrical components, wiring, fixtures and poles. |
| Scope 3 (Downstream) | Transport Emissions | Savings in transport emissions due to less frequent testing, replacement, shipping and distribution of imported electric, battery-reliant exit signs. | Reduced transport emissions from the delivery, maintenance, replacement and end-of-life stages of electrical lighting. |
| Scope | Category | CST, Resurface, Pothole, Hybrid HF | Solar Lights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Direct Emissions | Not relevant as this includes emissions for owned or managed sources such as heating, cooling, vehicles and refrigerants. | |
| Scope 2 | Indirect Emissions | N/A | Decrease in indirect emissions from electricity usage due to replacing the need for purchased energy to run electric lights. |
| Scope 3 (Upstream) | Supplier Emissions | Reduced emissions from supply chains and short-lived products that require repeated energy-intensive production processes, more frequent installation and maintenance. | Lower emissions from supply chains due to reduced production of poles, lighting fixtures, electrical wiring, lamps, transport and supplier operations. |
| Scope 3 (Upstream) | Waste Reduction | Avoids waste from production and frequent replacement of paint-based products, asphalt and related products. The use of Australian Recycled Glass also reduces waste to landfill. | Reduced emissions from components (bulbs, ballasts, housings) that generate waste when they fail and are replaced, compared to Solar Lights designed to be more durable and have a longer operational life, reducing the frequency of replacements. |
| Scope 3 (Upstream) | Raw Material Extraction | Reduced emissions from avoiding raw materials extracted for paint chemicals, from mining and refining due to the longer life cycle of products and using Australian Recycled Glass compared to processing virgin raw materials. | Reduced emissions from the need to extract, refine and replace steel and aluminium, plastics, glass, phosphors and copper needed for electrical lighting. This also conserves natural resources and decreases environmental degradation. |
| Scope 3 (Downstream) | Customer Usage | There are also reduced maintenance, life cycle and disposal emissions. *EPD available for Hybrid HF. | Reduced emissions from continuous use of electricity for electric lighting compared to zero operational emissions for Solar Lights. There are also reduced maintenance, life cycle and disposal emissions. |
| Scope 3 (Downstream) | End-of-Life Recycling | Reduced emissions resulting from less frequent transport, replacements and lower waste volumes, and the use of Australian Recycled Glass as aggregates. 100% recyclable as part of road pavement recycling. | Reduced end-of-life emissions from the transport, collection and disposal or recycling of electrical components, wiring, fixtures and poles. |
| Scope 3 (Downstream) | Transport Emissions | Reduced transport emissions from the delivery, maintenance, replacement and end-of-life stages of short-lived paint-based and asphalt surfacing, pothole and high-friction surfacing products. | Reduced transport emissions from the delivery, maintenance, replacement and end-of-life stages of electrical lighting. |
