Avaliações do Ciclo de Vida: reduzir a pegada de carbono em tudo o que fazemos

Uma Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) é a única ferramenta verificada para avaliar o impacto ambiental total do ciclo de vida de um produto. Ao integrar as ACV no nosso trabalho de inovação, podemos minimizar os resíduos nos nossos produtos, começando pelo design e aquisição de materiais, passando pelo transporte, fabrico, utilização e eliminação.

Susan Iliefski Janols, VP Sustainability Products & Services, Global Brand, Innovation and Sustainability.

“The biggest environmental impact is coming from the production of raw materials, and secondly from the post-consumer phase. That means we have to think about having smarter design with superior materials but using less of them.”

Our key to a smaller carbon footprint

In the video above, Susan Iliefski Janols, VP of Sustainability Products & Services, discusses our work with Life Cycle Assessments – from how it began in the early 90s to what it means for our daily and long-term operations. 
 
Here are a few key takeaways: 
 
  • A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the only tool where you measure the total environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle: from production of materials and products, to transports, usage, and circularity after use.  
  • An LCA for an innovation is based on the same science and standards as for an assortment, but an assortment LCA covers all products sold in a region over a period of time. This means that you include innovations together with step by step improvements in daily production. 
  • LCAs allow us to think about how we design and develop quality products with a minimal carbon footprint – for instance by developing smarter designs, using superior materials and minimizing waste. 
  • The result of an LCA can be communicated through an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) – an independent verification showing environmental information about a product, based on its complete life cycle.  EPDs for most TENA products can be found at the EPD International website.
