Product Sustainability Framework 

Renewable & Biodegradable

Materials that can be replenished or break down naturally over time.  

Toxicity & Health Impact

The presence of harmful chemicals or materials that could negatively affect human health or the environment during the entire lifecycle.

Durability & Lifecycle Performance

A product's ability to withstand wear and tear over time and perform well throughout its lifecycle. 

Embodied Carbon & Carbon Footprint

The total greenhouse gas emission (GWP) associated with a product throughout its lifecycle. Embodied carbon excludes carbon emissions during use and building operations. 

Product Circularity

Products that emphasize the reduction of waste, the reusability of the material, and facilitate recycling at end of life. 

Embodied Energy Intensity

Evaluates the total energy required to produce a product and energy intensity assess how efficiently this energy is used. 

Product Waste Factor 

Minimizing waste generated during manufacturing, encouraging more efficient and resource-conscious production processes.
