Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for Masco Corporation’s Delta Faucet Division
CCES CEO says LCA’s are a must for companies since Wal-mart announced formation of sustainability index
Detroit (October xx, 2009) -- Carbon Credit Environmental Services (CCES), a leading-edge organization based in TechTown, experienced with carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reduction programs has recently completed a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for Masco Corporation’s Delta Faucet division. CCES President Mike Dolkowski made the announcement.
The LCA will assist the Masco’s division in promoting their green sustainability of its brand to further penetrate the green consumer and commercial market.
“More and more companies will need LCA’s in the near future,” Dolkowski explains. “With Wal-mart’s new sustainability index, companies must conduct an LCA for their product to comply with the index. This means that environmental impacts of the product are gathered and put into a LCA report showing the environmental and energy impact of the product from the raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, consumer end use impacts.”
The goals of Wal-mart in creating the sustainability product index, include energy and climate, natural resources, material efficiency, people and community. A significant portion of this goal can only be accomplished with a LCA of a product. CCES has also put together a “Green Certification” program utilizing LCA-ISO Standards, providing a scientific basis for the “Green Claims” of any company’s products or services.
“With Cap and Trade and the Environmental Protection Agency asking for new CO2 reporting, all companies will have no choice -- it’s what the consumer wants”, said Dolkowski.
CCES recently applied for intellectual property patents on LCA data collection and is part of Wayne State University’s –TechTown village. The company is on the leading edge of sustainable product development and climate change initiatives, with over 35/years in energy/environment sustainability programs.
