The Science
We don’t just claim to be green. We back it up with science and verification.
We ensure that our client’s products meet our sustainability guidelines through our proprietary Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) program as well as through verification and testing backed by scientific analysis.
This cradle-to-grave analysis is the investigation and valuation of the environmental impacts of your product. The LCA will examine all steps in the creation of your product or service and then identify ways to make the product or service more environmentally friendly while reducing production costs and increasing bottom-line profits. In most cases, we can work with your existing supply chain to create your product in a more eco friendly manner or through our eco design services, we can design a new product that is more environmentally friendly for your use. We also have partners in supply chain fulfillment that may be the right fit to make your product green.
The categories we analyze are:
- Global warming (greenhouse gases)
- Acidification
- Smog
- Ozone layer depletion
- Eutrophication
- Eco-toxicological and human-toxicological pollutants
- Depletion of minerals and fossil fuels
The procedures of life cycle assessment (LCA) are part of the ISO 14000 environmental management standards.
