SPF25 Toronto | Mastering the DGC Materials Carbon Calculator: Precision for Every Project

Mastering the DGC Materials Carbon Calculator: Precision for Every Project
We’re excited to launch the expanded DGC Materials Carbon Calculator, an essential tool for understanding embodied carbon in production materials. Designed for crew and department heads committed to measurable sustainability, this session demonstrates how the calculator transforms material inputs, like size, weight, and type, into clear data on carbon emissions. By providing accurate, actionable metrics on environmental impact, the tool empowers teams to move beyond waste diversion and embrace re-use and circularity with confidence. Join us for a presentation and dynamic discussion with the film and TV experts who developed the tool, and learn how production managers and department heads can apply it to make smarter, data-driven decisions on material re-use.
