EPDs and LCA
Life cycle assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) enable us to provide you with information about the environmental impact of our products.
An LCA highlights the environmental impact throughout the life time of a product. This also includes, for example, the assessment of the processing and manufacturing phases of a specific product. The total product life cycle assessment is generally split into five phases:
1) Material phase
2) Production phase
3) Transport phase
4) Usage phase
5) Disposal phase or after life phase
