How do you measure the footprint of packaging?

These are compliant with ISO 14040, 14044, EN15804, and the LCA handbook of the ILCD. Ensuring the integrity and reliability of data used in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

No matter the number of products - Pickler connects your product data (e.g. BOM, production processes, transport, etc.) - to average scientific impact data from its independent, auto-updated database Idemat.
