Development of Product Category Rule (PCR) for an Environmental Product Declaration of Conveyor Chain Systems
Environmental Product Declarations are a form of sustainability performance measures, because they provide information about environmental aspects. They are based on results of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which is an international standardized method for the assessment of environmental impacts of products within their life-cycle. [4] Nowadays it is usual to adopt the life-cycle-thinking, which has its roots in biological science, on every material, product or activity
By building up a “Reference Conveyor System”, which conveys goods over a length of about 5 meters and includes one L-curve we were able to examine a first Life Cycle Assessment. The results of the LCA can be used for choosing the Rules of Product Categories to develop the requested Environmental Product Declaration. Furthermore it is interesting to have a closer look on the different Impact Categories, (Global Warming, Aci
