Understanding Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the EU Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products
On March 26, 2025, KPMG’s ESG & Sustainability Consulting team held a focused webinar. The team and the audience linked ideas about the product environment. The session joined two sustainability tools: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the EU Ecodesign Regulation. In dependency grammar style, each word pair connects directly to another, creating a clear chain of ideas.
Key Focus: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
LCA measures a product’s environment impact from start to finish. The webinar explained how this method works. Speakers linked key ideas:
• They compared organizational-level emissions with product-level emissions.
• They described each step in a full LCA.
• They listed the standards and protocols that guide the method.
• They explained how Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) form.
• They showed real methods to calculate a product’s carbon footprint.
In each point, the main word connects directly to its modifier. This close link keeps the meaning clear and easy to follow.
EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
The webinar’s next section focused on the EU rule for sustainable products. The regulation now pushes for a better design that cuts emissions. Key points connected clearly include:
• The rule helps design products that lower emissions.
• A digital product passport becomes essential as a tool for transparency and traceability in supply chains.
• They shared examples that showed how businesses meet these new requirements. This link is vital as EU laws get stricter for local companies.
Here, each concept connects directly to another, so the reader can follow the chain of reasoning without difficulty.
Industry Relevance and Future Outlook
The high attendance and keen participation underscored the need for these measures. Companies now link sustainability actions directly to their success. With stricter EU rules ahead, firms must adapt quickly. These ideas connect in a clear chain for those aiming to reduce impact and follow the law.
This webinar ended KPMG’s first series of online ESG seminars. It marked a strong step toward spreading sustainable practices across Montenegro and Serbia.
