Summary
This Eco-indicator calculator was developed based on the PRé Consultant's Eco-indicator 99 methodology.
The calculator provides simple, pre-formatted forms that you would need to carry out the Eco-indicator assessment, and calcu
indicator scores based on the standard indicators as defined by the PRé in the Eco-indicator 99, Manual for Designers.
All you need to do is to identify and quantify the materials and processes involved in producing a unit of the product analysed a
workbook. For example, types and weight of the materials, types and distance of transportation.

Product Eco-Indicator Calculation Report
The Eco-indicator calculation shows the environmental impact of the product throughout its life cycle. The higher the Eco-indicator value is, the bigger the impact it
has to human health, ecosystem quality and natural resources.
The table and graphs below indicate the Eco-indicator distribution of the anaysed product in its three life cycle stages i.e. Production, Use and End-of-life.
