The term “carbon footprint” refers to the carbon dioxide emissions generated by a person, company, activity, or product.
On the other hand, “carbon handprint” is a concept that denotes the climate benefit of a product, service, or process, i.e., the emission reduction it provides to its user.
Carbon handprint is based on the benefit generated by an activity. It represents the portion of a customer’s carbon footprint that is offset when the customer adopts an environmentally friendly option compared to the baseline.
The concept of carbon handprint emphasizes the perspective of a self-reinforcing positive cycle.
