In 2019, we carried out a comparative life cycle analysis (LCA)<\/strong> of our Ecocup \u00ae reusable cups against alternative single-use cup solutions with RDC environnement (independent consultancy).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The aim: to validate the relevance of our solution by taking into account all the elements of the life cycle in order to assess our overall environmental impact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t A product is made from raw materials<\/b> andenergy<\/b>.
