Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)

Itecons provides Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) calculation services, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles. This methodology, developed by the European Commission, allows to rigorously and comparably assess the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle.

PEF assesses the environmental performance of products based on 16 impact categories, with the aim of providing clear, robust and scientific information to support more sustainable decisions by both companies and consumers.

The Product Environmental Footprint has been gaining prominence in various strategic contexts, namely:

  • European regulations: it is required or recommended in policies such as the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Products Strategy;
  • Public tenders: facilitates compliance with environmental requirements in green public procurement procedures;
  • Environmental labelling and marketing: supports reliable and useful environmental claims for labels and market communication;
  • Continuous improvement and eco-efficiency: allows the identification of the main environmental impacts throughout the product's life cycle, helping to optimise processes and reduce environmental costs;
  • Access to demanding markets: strengthens competitiveness in sectors and countries with high sustainability standards.
