Challenge Summary:
Communicating the comprehensive sustainability impact of a product to customers is very challenging due to the large number of parameters as well as different system boundaries that need to be considered, such as material origin, processing, logistics, secondary emissions during the use phase, etc. Customers rarely have the necessary knowledge of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) process to fully understand the context of the data presented. Small product development companies need a simple and standardized way to communicate their sustainable product efforts directly to consumers in an understandable way to differentiate themselves from the competition. A solution should allow product developers/producers to communicate to their customers all the necessary information for a comprehensive LCA of their products to show the low impact of the products they are developing, especially regarding the circularity of the products.
We are looking for a solution that:
- Has accessibility to the information directly from the product.
- Enables an engaging and visually appealing presentation of relevant sustainability parameters.
- Has balance between correct sustainability information and a relatively low level of complexity.
- Has compatibility with the Digital Product Passport concept.
