7 Life Cycle Assessment www.thg.eco www.mycarbon.co.uk adam.lowe3@thehutgroup.com info@mycarbon.co.uk 2. Goal and Scope 2.1. Goal of the Life Cycle Assessment The goal of this LCA is to determine the GHG emissions associated with the previous and current LFBB packaging, from cradle-to-grave. 2.2. Scope 2.2.1. Functions of the system The primary function of the LFBB packaging is to adequately secure the products within the Look Fantastic Beauty Box for transportation to the end customer. 2.2.2. Functional unit The main purpose for a functional unit is to provide a reference to which the input and output data are normalized. A functional unit of the system shall be clearly defined and measurable. The result of the measurement of the performance is the reference flow. Given that there are two products in this LCA, the functional units are: • The previous packaging associated with a single Look Fantastic Beauty Box, delivered to the end consumer. • The current packaging associated with a single Look Fantastic Beauty Box, delivered to the end consumer. 2.2.3. System(s) to be Studied and their Boundaries The system boundaries define the processes and operations, as well as the inputs and outputs to be considered in the LCA. The system boundary for this LCA is from cradle-to-grave. Primary suppliers – These are the suppliers providing the raw materials to the secondary suppliers. Secondary suppliers – These are the suppliers providing the product to THG operated warehouses. Cradle – This is the point at which raw materials are supplied to secondary suppliers, including the delivery from primary supplier locations. THG or its secondary suppliers does not have ownership or significant control over the extraction and pre-production of the raw materials which make up the LFBB packaging product. This LCA instead assumes the GHG emissions of the raw materials based on industry averages. Grave – This is the end-of-life waste treatment of the LFBB packaging.
