Product Environmental Footprint & Eco-Design

Know exactly where your product's environmental impact sits, and what to redesign first. BOM mapping, product carbon footprint, manufacturing energy assessment, material hotspot analysis and actionable eco-design recommendations — one fixed-price engagement.

✅ Cradle-to-gate PCF per functional unit ✅ ESPR & DPP-ready technical report ✅ €2.3M PI insured

What's included

Professional engagement: one product — €5,900 fixed price.

🔩

BOM Mapping

Bill-of-materials breakdown from finished product to raw material inputs — structured for footprint calculation and future Digital Product Passport data requirements.

🌡️

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

Cradle-to-gate CO2e per functional unit — Scope 1 and 2 at your facility plus upstream Scope 3 (Category 1 goods, Category 4 transport). Ready for buyer questionnaires and green-claim substantiation.

⚡

Manufacturing Energy Assessment

Energy consumption profiling for your production process by stage, equipment and shift — identifying the manufacturing hotspots driving your Scope 1 and 2 footprint.

🔥

Material Hotspot Analysis

BOM components ranked by environmental impact contribution — showing where >80% of your product's footprint sits and where eco-design effort delivers the highest return.

💡

Eco-Design Recommendations

Prioritised redesign options for the top hotspots — material substitutions, recycled-content upgrades, packaging reductions and process changes, with estimated impact savings per recommendation.

📄

Technical Report

A fully documented technical report suitable for buyer due diligence, green-claims substantiation, ESPR regulatory submissions and Digital Product Passport data population.

Frequently asked questions

 

What is a Product Environmental Footprint?

A PEF study measures a product's environmental impacts using the EU's PEF methodology (aligned with ISO 14040/44). It is used for green claims, eco-labelling, ESPR compliance and buyer due diligence.

What is the difference between this and a full LCA?

This service focuses on carbon footprint, energy and material hotspots — the fastest route to actionable eco-design. A full multi-impact ISO 14040/44 LCA covering all 16 impact categories is our separate Life Cycle Assessment service starting at €7,500.

What is included in the product carbon footprint calculation?

Cradle-to-gate CO2e per functional unit — Scope 1 and 2 at your facility plus upstream Scope 3 (Category 1 purchased goods, Category 4 upstream transport). Ready for buyer questionnaires and green-claim substantiation.

What is a material hotspot analysis?

Ranking of BOM components by environmental impact contribution, showing where >80% of your product's footprint sits — so eco-design teams know exactly where redesign effort delivers the highest return on investment.

Which products is this service suited to?

Any manufactured product — textiles, footwear, electronics, packaging, industrial components, consumer goods. Particularly relevant for products subject to ESPR eco-design requirements or EU Digital Product Passport mandates from 2026.
