Apologies for any cross-posting...
I'm interesting in tracking down different models, approaches, tools for
finding out whether a particular product is more - or less - sustainable
than another.
By sustainable, I think it would need to include some assessment of social
impact as well as environmental impact. I'm most interested in approaches
which are actually being used in practice, either by
- customers / third party assessors of some kind to aid their purchasing
choices or whether or not to give something a label / grading
- manufacturers / producers, to decide which products to continue
making / selling and which new ones to bring on.
Any and all leads would be much appreciated!
A summary of responses will be supplied on request.
Thanks.
