Onion Hair Oil And Shampoo

Company snapshot (key facts)

• Incorporated / registered: 2018; registered state Haryana, RoC-Delhi.
• Principal business: Ayurvedic / herbal medicines and syrups (manufacturer / supplier listings).

• Product: 100 mL ayurvedic syrup in a single-use PET bottle (cap, label).
• Lifecycle stages included: raw material (herb cultivation & primary processing), manufacturing energy (plant electricity), packaging (PET bottle), and first-mile distribution to regional warehouse (road freight). Excludes retail consumer travel and end-of-life treatment (but recommendations below cover recycling).

• Indian grid electricity: 0.727 kg CO₂e / kWh (weighted average grid factor used).
• Road freight (truck): 0.069 kg CO₂e / tonne-km (freight emission factor).
• PET packaging: PET resin production ≈ ~2.2 kg CO₂e / kg PET (literature LCA range used).

• Bottle (PET) mass: 12 g (0.012 kg).
• Manufacturing energy per filled bottle: 0.20 kWh (mix of heating, mixing, filling, sterilization).
• Upstream raw-material & herb processing: 0.05 kg CO₂e per finished bottle (includes cultivation, drying, small-scale extraction).
• Distribution: 200 km truck average to regional warehouse; product packaged weight ~120 g (0.12 kg) including liquid. (These are conservative order-of-magnitude values for SME herbal syrup manufacture in India; replace with measured site data if available.)

1. Packaging (PET) 0.012 kg (PET) × 2.2 kg CO₂e/kg = 0.0264 kg CO₂e
2. Manufacturing energy 0.20 kWh × 0.727 kg CO₂e/kWh = 0.1454 kg CO₂e
3. Raw materials & processing (herbs) Assumed = 0.05 kg CO₂e
4. Transport (road freight) 200 km × (0.12 kg / 1000) tonne × 0.069 kg CO₂e/tonne-km = 200 × 0.00012 × 0.069 = 0.001656 kg CO₂e
5. Total (cradle to regional warehouse / shelf-ready) 0.0264 + 0.1454 + 0.05 + 0.001656 = 0.2235 kg CO₂e per 100 mL bottle ≈ 0.22 kg CO₂e/unit

• Packaging is significant but not dominant here — manufacturing energy (electricity) is the largest single contributor under current assumptions.
• Transport impact is negligible for local short-haul distribution but can grow if long-distance air/expedited logistics are used.

1. Electrify / efficiency: reduce manufacturing kWh/bottle (optimize heaters, batch size, improve insulation) — a 25% cut in energy saves ~0.036 kg CO₂e per bottle.
2. Switch to rPET or increase recycled content: rPET life-cycle emissions are far lower (rPET ~0.45 kgCO₂/kg vs virgin ~2.1–2.7 kgCO₂/kg), cutting packaging emissions by ~70–80%.
3. Local sourcing of herbs: shorter transport & better agricultural practices reduce the raw-material term (and improves social/supply resilience).
4. Track actual energy & mass data: measure kWh per batch, exact bottle weight, and real transport distances to replace assumptions with measured values (quick wins for accuracy).

• If exporting or scaling, include Scope-3 (end-of-life, consumer transport) and regulatory compliance for waste (plastic disposal rules). Consider Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations for packaging in India.

• kg CO₂e per 100 mL unit (current estimate = 0.22 kg CO₂e). Measure: electricity meter + weigh sample bottles + log average transport km.
