Eco Audit

Eco Audit allows you to quickly evaluate the environmental impact of a product, and provides guidance on how to reduce it.

This is achieved by focusing on two well-understood environmental stressors, energy usage and climate change impact (sometimes referred to as CO₂ footprint), and identifying which of the main life phases (material, manufacture, transport, use, and end-of-life) is most demanding of both.

Create an Eco Audit project by entering data for each of your product's components and life phases, then run a report to analyze the environmental impact of each life phase.

Note: Further information about Eco Audit calculations, and strategies for reducing environmental impact can be read about in the Selector Reference.
