Målbar tool
Highly advanced digital tool that can measure the climate impact of products
How does it work?
Målbar has created a highly advanced and user friendly digital tool that can measure the climate impact of products. It screens products based on input data from users and average data from acknowledged data bases, making it doable to obtain useful results without making the traditional LCA.
Why is it needed?
Målbar has made it achievable for every company to measure the CO2e footprint of products and use the results as point of departure for making more responsible design and production choices; the tool contains data about the impact of materials, production methods, packaging, transport, waste etc.
How does it improve life?
The tool contains data about the climate impact of both virgin and recycled materials letting users know which difference it makes to use one or the other.
What is unique about the Målbar screening tool, is that it can calculate on all products made in industrial production. Also the difficult furniture and fashion products containing natural materials can be assessed by the advanced algorithms.
