Product Footprint

Gain insight into the environmental impacts of products and services throughout their entire life cycle.


A Product Footprint, also known as a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), is a structured and systematic approach to evaluating the environmental impacts of a product, service, process, or activity throughout its entire life cycle. Insights from the LCA are key to identifying sustainability opportunities and reducing negative impacts, which is becoming increasingly important for customers, investors, and regulators.

An LCA for specific products and services helps your organization make informed decisions for more sustainable product development. It provides insight into the CO2 footprint, the environmental impact and the eco-costs of products and services.

The purpose of a Product Footprint

This valuable data allows you to select the most environmentally friendly design and production methods, reducing your environmental footprint and strengthening your competitive position. Furthermore, an LCA can support compliance with increasingly stringent regulations and sustainability standards, allowing your organization to distinguish itself as a socially responsible player.

Life Cycle Assessment

Relevant topics for an LCA are:

  • Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)
  • Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
  • Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI)
  • Environmental Performance of Buildings (MPG)
  • Eco-costs
  • CO₂ footprint

Implementation

Get tools to implement the opportunities.

CO₂ footprint

Measure the total amount of CO2 emissions caused by a specific product, process or organization.

With a CO2 footprint allows your organization to better understand the environmental impact of a specific product and take targeted actions to reduce CO2 to reduce emissions.

ECO COSTS

Eco-costs is a measurement tool that maps the hidden costs of environmental impact and ecological damage.

It helps companies reduce their ecological footprint, use resources more efficiently and reduce negative environmental impacts.

EPD

Environmental Product Declaration

An EPD provides insight into the environmental performance of a product based on data collected from a life cycle assessment, including raw material extraction, production, distribution, use and disposal.

PEF

Product Environmental Footprint

In-depth understanding of the environmental impact of products throughout their entire life cycle for well-informed sustainable decisions about a product, including raw material extraction, production, distribution, use and final disposal.

MKI

Environmental Cost Indicator

A measuring instrument that maps the environmental costs of a construction project or building.

The MKI takes into account environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle, including material selection, construction, use and demolition.

MPG

Environmental Performance of Buildings

A determination method that maps the environmental impacts of the material choices of a building.

It is an important instrument to stimulate sustainable construction and reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
