Circular Economy Goals
The final stage of a product's lifecycle is just as important as its beginning. Capturing the End-of-Life phase is essential for companies aiming for circularity and reduced environmental impact.
Recyclability
Instead of assuming all products end up in landfills, our tool allows you to input the percentage of the product that is actually recyclable. This helps you calculate the potential carbon savings from recycling materials back into the economy.
Circular Programs
Specific circularity initiatives, such as refurbishing, remanufacturing, or branded "take-back" programs, can significantly extend a product's life and reduce its total footprint. By specifying these programs, you can accurately report the net environmental benefits.
Examples of Input
- Recyclability: "90% of materials are curbside recyclable"
- Circular Programs: "Trade-in program for device refurbishment and resale"
- Disposal: "Return-to-manufacturer for safe material recovery"
Impact
Accurate End-of-Life reporting supports better product design, encouraging the use of recyclable materials and the development of circular business models.
