Life Cycle Assessment

What is it?

A Life Cycle Assessment is the factual analysis of a product’s entire life cycle in terms of sustainability. With it, we can reliably evaluate the environmental impact of a pack from cradle to grave, including CO² footprint, circularity index, water use and litter potential.

 

LCAs deliver beauty brands:

  • 1 Objectivity

  • 2 Traceability

  • 3 Transparency
