This calculator is designed to help you think about the environmental impacts of turning onscreen assets into toys and fancy dress costumes.
To use the calculator, choose up to 3 materials with a combined percentage of 100%. You can select either China or UK as your material’s point of origin.
The calculator will give you the carbon footprint of your chosen materials and transportation to a distribution centre in the UK. This is based on an assumed weight of 192g for a plastic doll with costume (toy), and 218g for a 5-6 year-old child’s fancy dress costume. The assumed distances travelled are 9200 miles A miles from China and 190 milesB miles within the UK.
The calculations do not factor in emissions from manufacturing processes; your asset’s carbon footprint would be greater with machine energy use included.
Please note that the result is indicative only and does not account for all possible environmental impacts when working with these materials. You should contact a sustainability consultant to discuss your needs before deciding how best to proceed with your project.
