Life cycle assessment is the most widely recognised technique to assess the environmental impacts of a product from raw material supply through the point of use and to end of life.

JSP has followed the internationally agreed procedure for performing a life cycle analysis, using the ISO 14040 environmental management standards.

In order to be ISO-compliant the study requires an independently-managed, approved protocol to be followed and peer-reviewed by a second, independent life cycle assessment expert. This methodology is both rigorous and comprehensive.
