Responsible Products
Working toward sustainability in 3D printing through a more eco-friendly product development
As important as sustainability is within our organization, we realized our core goal of promoting Responsible Manufacturing should be followed at both the organizational level and also be served by directly contributing to it through the industrial 3D printing solutions we provide. In this spirit, we've made developing responsible products a major priority in recent years.
With additive manufacturing (AM) steadily proliferating through more and more industries, we have an incredible opportunity to help customers reduce their carbon footprint as we strive toward our achievement of climate targets. The strides we've made in responsible products are just the beginning.
Products to embody the EOS purpose
We formally introduced Responsible Products into the EOS polymer powder catalog in 2022, making us the first company in the AM industry to do so. Climate-neutral products for which all cradle-to-gate GHG emissions have been offset by investing into Gold Standard climate protection projects. Carbon-reduced products with reduced GHG emissions in these goods' production through the use of renewable energy and other suitable measures. We currently offer the following Responsible Products with more to come. Stay tuned!
How we gauge a responsible product
Calculating just how eco-friendly our responsible products are involves determining all direct greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted in the manufacturing of these goods — as well as upstream emissions — using the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) measurement. ISO 14040/44 and 14067, the GHG Protocol and the BSI Group's PAS 2060 carbon neutrality standard serve as our guidelines as well as our internal Responsible Products management system provides our guidelines for our Responsible Products.
To periodically verify EOS' adherence to the standards listed above, we're externally audited by TÜV SÜD, one of the world's best-known third-party oversight and testing firms. This allows us to be completely transparent and accurate in the data we provide regarding our responsible products.

Ensuring responsibility to our customers
Before customers even make a purchase decision regarding our responsible products — or any other EOS offering — they can use the Cost & Carbon Calculator to predict cost per part and project the carbon footprint resulting from 3D printing a given component. This analysis factors in emissions sources ranging from materials and energy consumption to end-use applications.
In the interest of transparency, when our customers buy our climate-neutral or carbon-reduced products, they'll receive certificates verifying the sustainability bona fides of these goods. (We provide one certificate for each product sold on a calendar-year basis.) These customer certificates state the amount of GHG emissions the customer saved by purchasing our responsible products — data that has been audited and verified by TÜV SÜD. This information will be invaluable when customers need to produce their own carbon report and to achieve their own CO2e reduction targets.
