Dutch Chemical Firm, Stahl Receives Certification for LCA systems
According to Stahl, LCA is a methodology that measures the impact of any product on the environment over the course of its life
On 10th November, Stahl, a Dutch chemical company, announced that it has taken an important step toward realizing its target of having lifecycle assessment (LCA) data for all strategic products by the end of 2023. Stahl has achieved the certification of LCA data generation systems by working closely with Spin360, a tech-enabled sustainability consultancy. The certification will allow Stahl to collect verifiable information for its products.
According to Stahl, LCA is a methodology that measures the impact of any product on the environment over the course of its life. The LCA methodology can provide quantitative data in a format that permits comparisons to be made. The certification of LCA data generation systems is a foundational step to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of future LCA analyses.
Michael Costello, Stahl Group ESG Director, said, “One of Stahl’s strategic ESG goals is to collect verifiable, high-quality LCA data for its products, thereby paving the way to lowering the environmental impact of the whole supply chain. This EPD system certification is an important achievement, and a key step in realizing this goal. Looking ahead, we’ll continue to work with our partners to enable our certified LCA data availability and shape a better industry.”
Federico Brugnoli, CEO of Spin 360, said, “We are very proud to have supported this complex process that will ensure the complete reliability of Stahl’s LCA data. Now we will look at the next steps in supporting Stahl, focusing environmental footprint reductions through science-based evolution of the industry. We’re confident that – together – we can ensure a better future for us all.”
Stahl and Spin360 has implemented an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) system at Stahl’s site in Palazzolo, Italy. An EPD system is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the environment impact of products across their entire lifecycle.
The EPD system is certified by Bureau Veritas and nderlines Stahl’s commitment to enabling the sustainable development of its industry by driving accountability and transparency.
