LCARate™ & the 'Tags'
GreenTag's LCARate™ is for consumers and professionals who want to simply understand the whole sustainability story of a product over its life time. For those who want deeper knowledge LCARate™ uses Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) 'beyond LCA' and generates 'Net Positive' analysis and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) reporting for professional use. It relates to all products in any sector. It is also used by professionals looking to engage EarthCheck®, Infrastructure Sustainability, Green Mark International and MyHIJAU programs. This section also explains how the LCARate™ 'Tags' work and what they mean.
The Product Scorecard Explained

Product Health Declaration™ – The PHD Tool
