By identifying the vulnerabilities of the life cycle stages – raw material extraction, product manufacture, packaging, transport, use, end-of-life – and the pressures within them, it is possible to effectively reduce these environmental pressures.
In all cases, the analyses apply a set of rules and standards based on the basic ISO 14040-44 series of standards, focusing on a specific environmental element (CFP) or environmental communication (EPD) depending on their purpose. The analyses serve industrial needs and support research and development work.
