             Raw Materials 
            
              Extraction and processing of raw materials (agriculture, mining, logging) create environmental impacts before manufacturing begins.

             Manufacturing 
            
              Production consumes energy, water, and other raw materials, resulting in emissions and natural resource depletion.

             Packaging 
            
              Packaging materials such as plastic, paper and metal are used to accommodate and transport the product, contributing for their carbon footprint.

             Distribution 
            
              The transportation of goods generates greenhouse gas emissions, influenced by transport type, distance, and logistics.

            Use Phase & End of Life
            
              Product usage may consume energy and resources through a certain lifespan, while its disposal may result in landfilling, incineration and recycling, releasing greenhouse gases.
            
          
         
       
      A product life cycle analysis (LCA), in terms of carbon footprint, assesses the total greenhouse gas emissions generated at each stage of a product’s life, from raw material extraction to production, distribution, use, and disposal.
