product environmental footprint

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) measures the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction to manufacturing, use, and disposal. It assesses factors like energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and resource depletion. This standardized approach helps consumers and businesses understand how products affect the environment, enabling more informed choices and promoting sustainable practices. By evaluating the PEF, companies can identify areas for improvement, ultimately reducing their environmental footprint and contributing to a healthier planet.
