How does carbon footprint and eco-costs fit into Life Cycle Assessment methodology?

When we talk about our Life Cycle Assessment, we also have to consider what we’re analysing. This is where eco-costs and carbon footprint come in. 

Eco-costs are a concept that places a monetary value on the environmental costs of a product (note: this is not an additional fee for our products). Eco-costs are broken down into four key categories: carbon footprint, impact on biodiversity, impact on human health, and impact on material scarcity (requested by European legislation). These categories are what goes into our Life Cycle Assessment.
