The EPLCA is the EU’s knowledge base that responds to business and policy needs towards sustainable production and consumption. It supports the methodological development of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the analysis of supply chains and end-of-life waste management.
The Consumer Footprint Calculator helps citizens understand the environmental impacts of their lifestyles across the main consumption areas. Developed by the JRC using life cycle assessment (LCA) and the Environmental Footprint method, the tool evaluates the EF impact categories, compares results with EU averages and planetary boundaries, and supports informed choices.
