Scenarios

Idemat features two impact indicators to express environmental burden: eco-costs – developed by Delft University of Technology – and carbon footprint. Choosing either one allows for the selection of one of three scenarios, which are explained in detail in the app.

What happens with a material near the end of its life can have a significant contribution regarding its environmental impact. By integrating these so called end-of-life scenarios at the start of the selection process, a complex and error prone step is greatly simplified.
