LCA data collection: difficulties, challenges and solutions for manufacturers

In most Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) projects, data collection is the most time-consuming and complex step. With multiple stakeholders, demanding PCR/PSR rules, and scattered information, manufacturers face a real organizational challenge. Find out why this phase is so critical and how to effectively structure your LCA data collection.

RE2020: new buildings affected as of May 1, 2026

Starting May 1, 2026, the RE2020 environmental regulation will be extended to new categories of buildings. Decree No. 2026-16 of January 15, 2026 broadens the scope of application and strengthens environmental requirements for many players in the building sector. Which buildings are affected? What obligations will they have to comply with? Here's a breakdown.

RE2020: understanding the 2025 evolutions to remain compliant

The 2020 Environmental Regulation evolves in 2025, imposing stricter carbon thresholds and new obligations. For manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), especially those for the building sector, it is essential to control these changes to ensure the compliance of projects. This article deciphers the main regulations in France and guides you in their implementation.

Water and sustainable development: the environmental impacts related to water

The environmental impact of an activity can be measured using indicators, linked in particular to climate change (GHG emissions), to the destruction of the ozone layer, to human toxicity in the soil and in the air. Several of these environmental indicators are also linked to the management of water, as a resource and as a biotope. Considering the environmental impact of a product or an activity in a global manner therefore requires taking into account their impact on water consumption, aquatic ecotoxicity, or even the eutrophication of marine waters and fresh waters.

Soil pollution: what environmental impacts?

The environmental impact of the life cycle of electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) on the ground is a major challenge in our modern society. This equipment includes smartphones, computers, televisions, televisions, household appliances, lamps, batteries, among others. While these technologies provide numerous benefits, their production, use and disposal can have significant consequences for the environment, especially on soil quality.

RE2020, what changes are to be expected in France and Europe?

The energy performance of buildings is at the heart of European environmental policy, which establishes, with the DPEB (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive), a normative framework common to the Member States of the EU. The revision of this directive involves new requirements in terms of reducing energy consumption, with an ambitious goal of zero emissions in the new one by 2030. In France, the 2020 Environmental Regulation (RE 2020) constitutes an important regulatory evolution on the subject, which is currently the most demanding in Europe.

Air pollution: what are the environmental impacts?

The production of electrical and electronic equipment from the industrial sector has a definite impact on the environment in general. The Life Cycle of these types of manufactured products (extraction of raw materials, transport, use) changes, among other things, air quality with a more or less significant environmental impact. The environmental assessment of each electrical and electronic equipment must be a priority in order to reduce air pollution as much as possible during its life cycle. At Qweeko, we perform the LCA of each product through the use of air impact indicators for the preservation of life, the climate and the environment in general: contribution to the greenhouse effect, acidification of the air, formation of tropospheric ozone, formation of tropospheric ozone, formation of tropospheric ozone, depletion of the ozone layer, particles and respiratory effects of inorganic substances. Let's detail.

What technological solutions exist to carry out a LCA?

Life Cycle Analysis software allows its user to model all the flows composing a product, and to calculate the environmental impacts that it generates, in a global or very detailed manner, flow by flow. The software is enriched with an environmental database that allows the integration of various impact scenarios. The combination of the LCA software calculator and the environmental database thus makes it possible to obtain the various impacts generated by the modelled product. Ex: One kilogram of steel extracted in Europe represents the following environmental impacts, according to the European PEF methodology.

All responsible for the environmental transition!

Like other sectors, the EEE sector (electrical and electronic equipment) is fully committed to the ecological transition. Taking more virtuous paths is now an undeniable environmental necessity, and the approach is encouraged by increasingly demanding regulatory constraints. One thing is certain, transforming the EEE sector and adopting processes with reduced impacts must involve all actors. Manufacturers, subcontractors, distributors, installers and consumers: all have a role to play!

Carbon balance vs. LCA: what are the differences?

The environmental control of the activities of companies and organizations is an essential challenge to be met in the face of climate issues. The Carbon Assessment and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the product are among the tools that allow companies to measure the impact of their activities on the environment, in order to implement actions to reduce their overall carbon footprint. Do these tools share the same goals? Are they aimed at the same actors and are they substitutable for each other? The Carbon Balance and the LCA produced are two very distinct protocols, for which it is important to clearly discern the respective perimeters, the analysis criteria and the methods of interpretation.
