LCA
LCA is a process of evaluating the effects that a product has on the environment over the entire period of its life thereby increasing resource-use efficiency and decreasing liabilities. It can be used to study the environmental impact of either a product or the function the product is designed to perform, identifying and quantifying the environmental loads involved; e.g. the energy and raw materials consumed and the emissions generated. Also, evaluating the potential environmental impacts of these loads allow assessing the options available for reducing these environmental impacts.
ISCC
ISCC PLUS allows you to demonstrate, through a management system, the traceability and sustainability of raw materials, intermediate products and final products of the supply chains of: production of food products, for feed, technical/chemical, bio-based, supply chains of biomass production for energy applications. The standard has sustainability and traceability as its basic requirements.
DIN CERTCO
Q-GEO® by Fulgar is DIN CERTCO certified according to the ASTM D 6866:2022 R.N 8C376 method.
