Product Footprint Data Sheet (PFDS)™
If you are a manufacturer of finished products, we can help you in two ways. Firstly, by supplying MFDS's for all of your raw materials and feedstocks; secondly, by creating a Product Footprint Data Sheet (PFDS)™ for your product that includes the processing input you provide as well as references to your component parts and raw materials.
Our service is a material “channel” that you can subscribe to so that you can receive a comprehensive, continuously updated sustainability data profile and access to alternative suppliers of that material.

Source 44, as a simple point-of-contact, gathers and maintains information about a material. We provide a full sustainability profile in our proprietary Footprint Data Sheet™ format for each material. |
Clients spend far less time and money than thousands of companies if worked to calculate the same information. Clients receive supply chain data at minimal cost and maximum exposure to alternative suppliers of the same material. Data provided on-demand to clients in the method they prefer. |
Using Source 44 is the first step in “greening your supply chain”. Data allows customers to present complete carbon footprint when legislation is implemented or comply with current legislation. Enables full life cycle carbon footprint calculation. |
| Raw material suppliers have instant web-based access to upload new material data. Source 44 researchers verify and provide this information to our customers. | Suppliers have an incentive to provide data to Source 44: They avoid repeating it to each individual customer while receiving exposure to new potential customers. | The information our customers have is always current and accurate. |
| Our company is carbon neutral. | We do not add to our customer’s carbon footprint. | Our customers work less to produce a carbon neutral product. |
