8 Life Cycle Assessment www.thg.eco www.mycarbon.co.uk adam.lowe3@thehutgroup.com info@mycarbon.co.uk Across these system boundaries the following stages will be considered: - Material Acquisition – Production and transport - Production – Energy and direct emissions - Distribution and Storage - End-of-life – waste treatment 2.2.4. Data Requirements Primary data from the 2022 calendar year was used to calculate the product carbon footprint. 2.3. Allocation Emissions are allocated to a specific system based on the guidance provided in the GHG protocol. Allocation is required when systems overlap, and inputs / outputs are not easily distinguishable between the overlapping systems. There were no allocations necessary as part of this assessment. 2.4. Assumptions and Limitations Where possible, primary data has been used to calculate product emissions. In the instance that this data is not available, industry averages and assumptions have been used. The key assumptions used in the LCA process are listed within Table 2.
