  1. Work Package 4 Environmental compatibility analysis Work Package 4 Environmental compatibility analysis The environmental compatibility analysis, based on an LCA analysis, will aim at assessing the entire product/process. Overall objective of the work package is to evaluate the applicability for the Eco-label and/or for an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). Activities will begin from an up-to-date analysis of the current Product Groups and related Criteria for the award of the Eco-label and of Product Categories and related Product Category Rules (PCR) for EPD. The LCA analysis will then be conducted keeping in mind both the product group criteria and the PCR, for the definition of the goals and scope and for the impact assessment and interpretation of the analysis’s results. The last step will be the production of technical documents needed to support the application for the ECO-label certification and/or for the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), sub-contractors (to be identified) will be hired to support the WP leader in these tasks. Duration: month 1 to month 36 Partners involved: TRE (WP leader), CETMA, MOTULAB

  3. 4.1 Requirements analysis for Eco-Label and Environmental Product Declaration (Type I and III). Analysis of the existing Product Categories and related Product Category Rules (PCR) for Environmental Product Declaration and of Product Groups and related Criteria for the award of the ECO-label certification. The aim is to support and address the definition of the goals and scope for LCA-Analysis. Duration: month 1 to month 12 Partners involved: TRE Subcontractor: TBD (TRE) Deliverable: D4.1 Requirements for Environmental Product Declaration (report) Work Package 4 Environmental compatibility analysis

  4. 4.2 LCA Phase I: Definition of the Goal and Scope for the case and Data Inventory. These activities will be conducted on the basis of the results of task 4.1 and according to ISO standards, in particular: ISO 14041 Environmental management. Life-cycle assessment. Goal and scope definition and inventory analysis Phase II: Impact assessment Impact will be assessed through the evaluation of the selected indicators and according to ISO standards, in particular: ISO 14042 Environmental management. Life-cycle assessment. Life-cycle impact assessment Duration: month 12 to month 24 Partners involved: TRE, MOTULAB (Support the data collection for the LCA inventory) Deliverables: D4.2.1 LCA phase I: Definition of goal and scope, Data inventory D4.2.2 LCA phase II: Impact assessment (reports) Work Package 4: Environmental compatibility analysis

  5. 4.3 LCA - phase III: Interpretation The interpretation of the results will be conducted according to ISO standards, in particular: ISO 14043 Environmental management. Life-cycle assessment. Life-cycle Interpretation Duration: month 18 to month 30 Partners involved: TRE Deliverable: D4.3 LCA phase III: Interpretation of results (report) Work Package 4 Environmental compatibility analysis

  6. 4.4 Environmental Product Declaration Documentation The aim of this task is to produce the requested technical documentation to support the application for the award of the Eco-label and/or for the production of Environmental Product Declaration. Such documentation will be in accordance with the results of the previous tasks, and based on the existing Product Categories for the EPD and Product Groups for Eco-label. The results of the present task will be the: Product related information; Environmental performance related information; Additional environmental information. The activities will be carried out complying to the ISO standards, in particular: - ISO 14024 Type I environmental labelling – Principles and procedures for the Eco-label ; ISO 14025 Environmental labels and declarations – Type III ISO 21930 Sustainability in building construction - Environmental declaration of building products for the Environmental Product Declaration . In case the proposed solution should not fit the existing Product Categories for the Environmental Product Declaration (Type III) or the Product Groups for Eco-label (Type I), activities will focus on the production of a Type II Environmental Label according to the standard: ISO 14021 Environmental labels and declarations – Self-declared environmental claims (Type II environmental labelling).
