Carbon Neutral Certified Product

Hi,
We are proposing to clients to use “Carbon Neutral” Certified products by Climate Active.
How do we account for the positive initiative in an LCA?

Hi Jee Wei, modelling the recommendations via EPDs would be your best bet. Please refer to this support post on how to create EPDs: https://support.etoollcd.com/index.php/knowledgebase/using-epd-in-etoollcd/

Hi Jee Wei, we’ve just published a new post on how to model carbon neutral products in eToolLCD. Please refer to this post: https://support.etoollcd.com/index.php/knowledgebase/modeling-carbon-neutral-products-in-etoollcd/

Hi Fei,
Do you have advice on how to do it with EPDs? There are a couple templates in one of my projects that have an EPD but are also carbon neutral. I have created scenarios capturing the numbers from the EPDs but when I try to capture separate scenarios to capture the carbon neutrality of the material, the above methodology does not work as I can’t put negative quantities for the EPD. What would be the best way forward? If the EPD only captures A1 to A3, does removing it from the model/template suffice?

Thanks
Erwin
