Our Life Cycle Assesment (LCA), performed with SimaPro, is a method to assess the overall environmental impact of a product’s life cycle.
Product lifecycle
LCA is a method to assess the environmental impact of a product, from the cradle (when e.g. drilling for the oil or preparing recycled film) to the grave (when e.g. incinerating the film). LCA uses the input needed to produce the product (such as oil or electricity) as well as the output (such as wastewater) and translates them into environmental impact potentials, such as climate change.
This includes everything from extraction of raw material, through material processing and manufacturing to distribution as well as use. An LCA can be done for all the steps in the products life cycle or parts of it.
Due to the many different scenarios when it comes to usage and waste management, our analyzes are done considering the impact until delivery of the product.

Our Life Cycle Assesment (LCA), performed with SimaPro, is a method to assess the overall environmental impact of a product’s life cycle.
One of the major reasons why we use LCA is to give our customers an easy overview if they want to choose a film with a lower carbon footprint and less environmental impact.
LCA gives a complete picture on product level and we have performed it for all our loop inside products to have reliable figures when comparing to virgin products.
If you need specific figures or want to get a better overview of the environmental impact of the different Tenospin products, please reach out to us.
