Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the EU Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products: Key Insights from KPMG’s ESG Webinar
On March 26, 2025, KPMG’s ESG & Sustainability Consulting team hosted a webinar. The team explored the product footprint. They examined each link—from raw material extraction to disposal. The webinar focused on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the new EU Ecodesign regulation.
Understanding Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
The first session broke down LCA. LCA measures a product’s impact. It starts with raw material and ends at disposal. The session showed how emissions differ at the organization level and at the product level. It listed steps that follow international standards. It stressed the need for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs work to share a product’s eco profile. It explained methods to compute the product’s carbon footprint.
Exploring the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
The second session discussed the EU rule. Experts Nina Mihajlović and Marijana Marjanović led the talk. They described a regulation that raises design standards. The rule seeks to lower waste and boost circularity. A digital product passport was explained as a key part. This passport ensures transparency and traceability in the value chain.
Relevance for Domestic Companies
Domestic companies now face stricter rules. These new mandates change how companies operate. The webinar’s strong viewership shows urgent demand. It reveals a clear need for practical, compliance guidance.
Conclusion
The webinar ended the first series of KPMG online ESG seminars. It proved that product sustainability assessments matter. It showed that following new regulations is essential. For companies that want to cut their environmental impact, knowing LCA and the EU Ecodesign rule is now a must.
