Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an analytical and systematic methodology that evaluates the environmental footprint of a product or service, along its entire life cycle. The calculation ranges in fact from the phases of extraction of the raw materials constituting the product, to its production, its distribution, use and its final disposal, returning the environmental impact values associated with its life cycle. Cosmosol project has as its mission to develop a model of the life cycle of product in order to qualify the potential environmental impact of its products.
In 2020 Cosmosol has started the studies “from cradle to grave” for one of the Shower Gel we produce. This study allows the certification of the Carbon Footprint of the product according to ISO 14067:2018 and PCR 2015:07 Cosmetics (soap, perfume and toilet preparations) version 2.0 (valid until 27.10.2024). This project is therefore the first step to make the company independent in the management of LCA studies and the results that follow in order to support Strategic Environmental Management to support business competitiveness and reduce the environmental impact of aerosol products.
With this approach Cosmosol seeks to achieve a balance between the three dimensions of sustainability:
Research, development and production of aerosol and spray cosmetics and medical devices on behalf of third parties.
