Product Carbon Footprinting, LCA, and EPDs
Product Carbon Footprinting measures the full greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product across its life cycle, while Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) expands this to include wider environmental impacts such as resource use, pollution, and ecosystem effects. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) then take these LCA results and present them in a standardised, independently verified format, enabling more transparent comparison between products based on robust, science based data.
In this session, our speakers, Dr Craig Jones (Managing Director) and Joe Rouse (Senior Consultant), explored the fundamentals of product level carbon assessments and their role in supply chain sustainability.
