Best practices: Product category rule creation and use
Citation:
INGWERSEN, W. Best practices: Product category rule creation and use. Presented at the 2011 Ecobuild Conference, Washington, DC, December 07, 2011.
Impact/Purpose:
To inform EPA
Description:
Benefits of life cycle-based claims For most products, the majority of impact occurs upstream or downstream of product use . Single-stage claims for products (e.g., recycled content; energy efficient) don’t capture the relevance of that attribute in life-cycle environmental performance. Claims based in an ISO 14040 life cycle assessment of a product provide quantitative performance over the full life cycle from “cradle to grave” (ISO 14040:2006)
