What is BS EN 16760 - Life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based products about?

BS EN 16760 is an international standard used for bio-based products. BS EN 16760 is your best practice guide in selecting and implementing these impact categories of life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based products.

BS EN 16760 specific life cycle assessment (LCA) requirements and guidance for bio-based products, excluding food, feed, and energy, based on EN ISO 14040 and EN ISO 14044.

This BS EN 16760 covers bio-based products, derived wholly or partly from biomass.

This BS EN 16760 provides guidance and requirements to assess impact over the life cycle of biobased products with a focus on how to handle the specificities of the bio-based part of the product.

Note: The applications of LCA as such are outside the scope of this European Standard. Clarifications, considerations, practices, simplifications, and options for the different applications, are also beyond the scope of this European Standard. In addition, BS EN 16760 may be applied in studies that do not cover the whole life cycle, with justification e.g. in the case of business-to-business information, such as cradle-to-gate studies, gate-to-gate studies, and specific parts of the life cycle (e.g. waste management, components of a product).

Who is BS EN 16760 - Life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based products for?

BS EN 16760 on Bio-based products are useful for:

Manufacturers of paper
Manufacturers of insulation materials
Hospitals
Wood products
Chemical industries
Composite materials
Recycling units

Why should you use BS EN 16760 - Life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based products?

Life Cycle Assessment is a cradle–to–grave technique used in assessing the environmental impact associated with all the stages of a product's life.

BS EN 16760 helps you in determining the impact categories, category indicators, and characterization models by studying the scope of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The life cycle inventory is useful in collecting data and helps in calculating the procedures to quantify relevant inputs and outputs of a product system. With the help of BS EN 16760, you can choose the agriculture model according to the data quality requirements of bio-based products.

BS EN 16760 can be your best guide in selecting and applying these impact categories of life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based products. This BS EN 16760 also helps in understanding the methodology of life cycle assessment (LCA) of bio-based products.
