Sustainable products

As consumption increases, the environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycle become more noticeable. A deeper understanding of these impacts is essential for developing more sustainable product solutions.

Communication about the environmental impacts associated with products also provides consumers with better opportunities to influence the environmental burden caused by their own purchasing decisions.

Life Cycle Assessment of Products

In mitigating products’ environmental impacts, the focus may easily be solely on optimizing the manufacturing process, for example, by choosing the right energy sources.

However, the product’s use phase can play a significantly more important role from a life cycle perspective if it also involves energy consumption.
It is good to identify the so-called “hot spots” from the life cycle of products, which are responsible for most environmental impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool suitable for identifying the environmental impacts during the life cycle of products. Read more here.
The information produced can be used for various purposes, such as supporting product development, measuring performance, or communicating with stakeholders through EPD environmental declarations.
