Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the EU Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products: Insights from KPMG’s ESG Webinar
On March 26, 2025, KPMG’s ESG & Sustainability Consulting team held a webinar. They focused on the environmental impact of everyday products. They also discussed new EU rules for better product design. Each word here builds closely on the next.
Understanding Environmental Footprints through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
The team used Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to show how products affect the environment at every step. They linked raw material, production, use, and disposal in one chain. Their talk broke down key points:
- Emissions Clarity: They linked company emissions to product emissions. Each term connects directly.
- LCA Steps: They listed clear steps for LCA analysis. Each step supports the next.
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD): They showed how to build an EPD. Each detail ties back to a product’s footprint.
- Product Carbon Footprint: They explained simple techniques to gauge carbon output. Each measurement links directly to the product.
- Digital Product Passport: They introduced a new digital tool. It links product data with the whole value chain.
Navigating the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
Next, the team explained the new EU Ecodesign Regulation. The rules aim to boost sustainability in design and production. Nina Mihajlović and Marijana Marjanović used clear examples. They linked EU rules to real changes in companies, including those in Montenegro. Each idea connects directly to practical adjustments.
