Eco-Indicator 99

Eco-Indicator 99 is a method used to assess the environmental impact of products and processes. It simplifies complex environmental data into a single score by evaluating factors like resource consumption, pollution, and ecosystem damage. This helps identify which stages or components are most harmful, guiding improvements to reduce overall ecological harm. The approach considers long-term effects and seeks to support environmentally conscious decision-making in areas such as product design and lifecycle analysis. Its goal is to promote sustainability by providing a clear, comparable measure of environmental impact.
