If a product is to be assessed holistically in terms of its impact on nature and mankind, it is important to consider its complete life cycle. By means of the so-called Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), all effects from the sourcing of raw materials to the disposal are considered and summed up. Important stages in this process include the production of the raw materials used, the distribution of the finished products and their application by our consumers. The result of the LCA is the holistic presentation of the products’ environmental footprint. This evaluation methodology allows us to identify the levers with which we can maximize the environmental compatibility of the product.
