The WP3 is a in-depth activity related to the “indirect” environmental aspects, especially those related to the typical product of the cluster. The WP is divided in two tasks:
Task 3.1: “LCA of the typical product”-
The product will be analyzed and evaluated with an approach “Life Cycle Thinking” LCT, therefore some LCAs will be carried out, by considering the typical product of the cluster and by identifying the main environmental pressures (direct and indirect) connected to the production, in a supply-chain context. These LCAs will also provide indications on which key-environmental impacts should be considered to develop new EU Ecolabel criteria concerning those product for which they do not already exists.
Task 3.2: “Communication to markets, EPD and sectoral EPD“
Tools of communication and marketing will be implemented for the SMEs, for example an EPD (“Environmental Product Declaration”) of the product characterizing the cluster, to transmit to the supply-chain (but also to the other clusters and even to the final consumer) the information and the more important environmental data. Further objective of this task, as seen above, is to contribute to the development of new Ecolabel criteria for the product of the fashion supply-chain (those not already existing today, e.g. purse, belts and other leather accessories).
