Less waste, more results thanks to new ISO standard for eco-efficiency assessment

Friday, 21 September, 2012

Given today’s economic turmoil, ongoing environmental challenges and pressure to contribute to a more sustainable planet, a new ISO International Standard for applying eco-efficiency assessment to product systems has a huge worldwide potential.

The newly published ISO 14045:2012, ‘Environmental management - Eco-efficiency assessment of product systems - Principles, requirements and guidelines’, describes the principles, requirements and guidelines for eco-efficiency assessment for product systems.

The ISO is available through the ISO Store: http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=43262.
