PCR: Product Category Rule

To ensure the objectivity and consistency of the information declared, which allows consumers or purchasers to make a solid judgment, there should be an uniformity in the definition of products, the requirements and rules of the LCA calculation, the scenarios of product use and disposal, the methods of data collection, processing and use, and the data to be disclosed.

The Product Category Rule (PCR) functions as a criteria by which to set rules for LCA calculations for each product category, originally developed by PCR working group (PCR-WG) following to the "Requirements for the EcoLeaf PCR", then reviewed/authorized by the PCR committee. The PCR works as the cornerstone of the EcoLeaf. PCRs developed are listed HERE.
