Work Package 4
Environmental compatibility analysis
The environmental compatibility analysis, based on an LCA analysis, will aim at assessing the entire product/process.
Overall objective of the work package is to evaluate the applicability for the Eco-label and/or for an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
Activities will begin from an up-to-date analysis of the current Product Groups and related Criteria for the award of the Eco-label and of Product Categories and related Product Category Rules (PCR) for EPD.
The LCA analysis will then be conducted keeping in mind both the product group criteria and the PCR, for the definition of the goals and scope and for the impact assessment and interpretation of the analysis’s results. The last step will be the production of technical documents needed to support the application for the ECO-label certification and/or for the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), sub-contractors (to be identified) will be hired to support the WP leader in these tasks.
