Chemical product sustainability

Product sustainability refers to the creation and management of products in a way that ensures they provide environmental, social, and economic benefits while protecting public and environmental heath throughout their life cycle - from extraction to disposal.

With multiple legislative and regulatory deadlines on the horizon, understanding the implications for chemical organisations and translating these into actionable strategies requires a detailed understanding of each policy, framework and directive.

Ensuring chemical products, materials and substances are extracted, produced and supplied in the most sustainable way possible can deliver benefits beyond maintaining current and future compliance and access to markets. These benefits include satisfying consumer demand, mitigating risks of reputational damage, access to 'green' investment, remaining competitive, unlocking potential cost savings, meeting decarbonisation targets, access to new markets and reducing environmental and social impacts.

Defined as the compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle, LCA allows the end-user to understand the potential environmental impacts of a particular product or process. 

A streamlined LCA of your top selling or most representative products will quickly reveal the 'hot spots' in the product life-cycle. Interventions can then be assessed for their ability to reduce the most significant uses of energy, water and raw materials, and associated cost savings can be identified.

Environmental credentials are a strong selling point for products and services - but claims must be able to withstand the scrutiny of the media, regulators, consumers and investors.
