Method
17
Flows of input and output materials and energy at each stage of the life cycle are listed
to carry out an exhaustive assessment of:
• the consumption of energy and natural resources
• the emissions into the environment (air, water and soil)
Source ADEME
18
Results
18
The emission and consumption data is processed to assess the potential impact of the
product on the environment: greenhouse effect, atmospheric acidification, exhaustion
of natural resources, etc.
LCA is therefore a multi criteria method.

“With the incorporation of 25% green materials out of total
vehicle polymer content (excluding rubber) of 170 kg
(versus 7% on the 207), the 208 has reached a new
milestone in eco-design.”(PSA)
The 208 is equipped with a Fan Motor Assembly (FMA)
comprised of recycled Technyl® by Rhodia.
The three partners commissioned a Life-cycle Assessment
(LCA) to evaluate the environmental benefit of this part.

A collaborative project ensuring an exhaustive study:
• An environmental initiative conducted in partnership with all industrial actors on a
mass-produced motor vehicle
• A comprehensive multi-criteria analysis of the vehicle’s entire life cycle submitted for
critical review by an independent expert.
Extremely positive results:
• The performance qualities of recycled Technyl® result in a design and durability
identical to designs using standard Technyl®, leaving the environmental impact
resulting from its production or use unchanged
• The full environmental benefit thus comes from the production of the recycled
polyamide
• Positive environmental results over the full life cycle for all criteria evaluated
(i.e. a decrease ranging from 9-28% depending on the indicator).
Proactive collaboration leading to an advantageous environmental assessment

Simplification: for a global view of the impacts
- find a compromise between a single-criterion analysis
and a comprehensive review of multiple impacts
Quantification: to make balanced decisions
- compare objectively new solutions vs. existing ones
Communication: to share data with stakeholders

Un produit plus efficace (quantité moindre pour une même fonction) constitue
une amélioration
un produit permettant plus aisément de réparer un produit fini est une
amélioration

emballage, …) est une amélioration
un produit plus concentré constitue une amélioration
un produit émettant moins de GES lors de son utilisation ou sa fin de vie (hors
CO2 biogénique des produits bio-sourcés, traité à la question 14) est une
amélioration.
un produit autorisant une valorisation énergétique en fin de vie constitue une
amélioration
un produit plus recyclable constitue une amélioration
un produit assurant une même fonction pendant un temps plus long constitue
une amélioration
une plus grande teneur en produit bio-sourcé constitue une amélioration.

- sourcing
- end of life
- specific performances
- manufacturing process
- application & function
Societal & ethics
features
Positive as w ell as negative impacts have to be reported :
- sourcing in developing countries (impact on average wages)
- children's labor at suppliers (from cradle)
- health and safety conditions at suppliers
- ethics : tests on animals for raw materials ; if yes : is there an alternative ?
- deforestation
- application : impacts on addiction
This list is not exhaustive but must push to a deep analysis of all potential societal
impacts, in order to prepare the construction of a comprehensive index

Rhodia method for assessing project environmental impact and
its toolbox “Sustainability Index”were reviewed by PwC.
Pr ic e w a t er ho u s e & Co o p er s“PwC consider that the 3E method, developed by Rhodia, fulfills the objective of providing
project teams with a complete and consistent system for environmental evaluation of
Innovation Projects. The accuracy level of the evaluations is adapted to the level of acquired
knowledge for the developing product at the time of evaluation.
By establishing the Qualitative SI as a deliverable for the project tollgates within Rhodia
Innovation Project Management process and by guiding action plans according to identified
risks & opportunities as far as environmental impact is concerned, PwC recognize this method
as aiming at orientating the development of new products towards more environment friendly
solutions and, as such, as being an eco-conception approach.”

Key Learnings
« Now this is not the end.
It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. » *
* Sir Winston Churchill: Speech in Nov. 1942
Moving for Sustainability requires the involvement of all the entities of the
Company
- must be embedded in a global CSR programme
Eco-evaluation is now a state-of-the-art, but there is still room for
improvement
- data bases update
- social aspects
Eco-design is a major step beyond
- 2 to 5 years will be necessary to evaluate the impact on the
products portfolio
