Eco-Efficiency Analysis


Chart of the Eco-Efficiency Analysis: Costs/Environmental impact
The aim of the eco-efficiency analysis is to compare similar products or processes. This involves carrying out an overall study of alternative solutions to include a total cost determination and the calculation of ecological impact over the entire lifecycle. The results are used for the comparison with competitors. They may increase market opportunities or assist product improvement. They also provide arguments for the sales department.
