Complete product traceability

We identify the origin, materials, processes, manufacturing, and transportation to build a transparent database, from cradle to door.

Different categories of environmental impact are analysed.

The analysis is conducted by an independent entity, ensuring objectivity, technical rigor, and comparability of results.

Carbon footprint

Amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

Ozone layer impact

Damage to the ozone layer protecting from UV radiation.

Soil impact

Degradation or loss of soil quality.

Mineral consumption

Use and depletion of minerals and metals.

Water use

Amount of water consumed in processes.

Acidification

Increase in acidity in soil and water harming ecosystems.

Non-renewable energy use

Consumption of energy from non-renewable sources.
