Life cycle and eco-design

Aim of the project :

To be able to analyse the various environmental impacts of our products - using life cycle analyses - and to model simulations to avoid impact transfers

Life cycle analysis

Scientific and objective analysis of all the environmental impacts of the various stages in a product's life (origin and composition of raw materials, manufacture, packaging, transport, use, end of life, etc.). 

A life cycle analysis takes into account 16 indicators (PEF method, developed by the European Union) 

Climate change
- Climate change

Ressources
- Depletion of non-renewable mineral resources
- Depletion of non-renewable energy resources
- Land use
- Depletion of water resources

Ecosystems
- Acidification
- Eutrophication on land
- Marine eutrophication
- Freshwater eutrophication
- Freshwater ecotoxicity

Human health

- Fine particulates
- Depletion of the ozone layer
- Ionising radiation
- Photochemical ozone formation
- Carcinogenic human toxicity
- Non-carcinogenic human toxicity

We have started a partnership with  which uses the product and supplier data collected by Trace for Good via a direct connection, and carries out :

  • product lifecycle analyses (PEF method)
  • simulations between several options to enable product managers to ecodesign and modify products
  • a greenhouse gas emissions balance (GHP method) based on the 3 scopes 

2024 

Life cycle analysis of all our products:

  • garment
  • gloves
  • shoes
  • head
  • fall protection
  • disposable

In the future...

  • Reducing the uncertainty of our Life Cycle Assessment results to a maximum of 10% uncertainty 
  • Simulation and comparison of several alternatives to control impacts 
  • Calculation of greenhouse gas emissions and determination of company-wide reduction targets
