Lifecycle Impact Categories

This section outlines the environmental impact categories assessed throughout the product's lifecycle, including raw material extraction, transportation, manufacturing, packaging, use, and disposal. Key impact categories include:

• Global Warming Potential: Long-term changes in global weather patterns caused by increased greenhouse gases.
• Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential: Formation of smog due to sunlight reacting with hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.
• Eutrophication Potential: Excess nutrients causing algae growth that blocks sunlight in water bodies, harming aquatic life.
• Ozone Depletion Potential: Destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer by human-made pollution, increasing harmful UV radiation.
• Acidification Potential: Decrease in pH and increased acidity in water bodies due to emissions, polluting groundwater and harming aquatic life.
• Depletion of Abiotic Resources (Elements): Reduction of non-renewable elemental resources like metals and gases.
• Depletion of Abiotic Resources (Fossil Fuels): Decreasing availability of non-renewable carbon-based fuels such as oil and coal.
