What is PD CEN/TR 16957 - Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) about?

PD CEN/TR 16957 is an international standard used for bio-based products. Bio-based products from forestry and agriculture have a long history of application, such as, paper, board, and various chemicals and materials. The last decade has seen the emergence of new bio-based products in the market. The bio-based content of a product does not provide information on its environmental impact or sustainability, which may be assessed through LCA and sustaininability criteria. In addition,  transparent and unambiguous communication within bio-based value chains is facilitated by a harmonized framework for certification and declaration. PD CEN/TR 16957 provides guidance on how to compile an inventory for the end-of-life phase in LCA of bio-based products. Note: The order of the end-of-life options indicated in Figure 1 respect the Directive 2008/98/EC on waste. This list is not exhaustive but illustrates the content of this Technical Report.
