10 Life Cycle Assessment www.thg.eco www.mycarbon.co.uk adam.lowe3@thehutgroup.com info@mycarbon.co.uk 2.5. Materiality threshold A materiality threshold determines the point at which a source of GHG emissions is deemed insignificant, so that very minor sources of emissions do not demand the same time and effort as more significant sources. The materiality threshold for this LCA is set at 1% of total product GHG emissions. 2.6. Exclusions The following have been excluded from the LCA: - The carbon emissions associated with the production of reused packaging (i.e., pallets). The reuse of these means that it is responsible for significantly less than 1% of the total product footprint. - Overhead energy consumption at THG warehouses. The packaging products undergo manual assembly at THG warehouses and so are considered to consume negligible amounts of energy in this process. - Given the nature of a packaging product, no use-phase emissions have been accounted for.
