A product which has had its life cycle emissions calculated and negated is carbon neutral. Click here if you want to find out how you can offset the carbon emissions from your products and services.
Life Cycle Analysis
A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), or Life Cycle Assessment, involves a cradle to grave view of the greenhouse impacts of your product or service; from the extraction and transport of raw materials, to the manufacture, packaging, freight, usage and finally its disposal.
An LCA will allow your organisation to:
Quantify the greenhouse impact of its product or service
Make a stepwise trace of the impacts of the product; allowing the identification and implementation of emission reduction strategies down the supply chain
Disclose the carbon footprint on its packaging, with a view to marketing and displaying the emission reductions of the product as enhancements are made
Determine the volume of carbon credits that can be generated through the implementation of your product
The Carbon Reduction Institute’s engineers and scientists will be happy to complete an LCA on your product or service. Our LCAs are conducted in compliance with the ISO 14000 series.
