Cradle-to-Grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Mobile Access Vs. ISOProx PVC Credentials
Why It Matters and What the Numbers Mean
The invention of mobile access was a giant leap forward, and it seemed logical from the outset that mobile access would have less of an impact on the environment than traditional plastic cards. With that said, it’s also clear that there are still environmental costs. So how can you measure and compare complex product life cycles?
Through what is known as a life cycle assessment (LCA).
HID commissioned an independent third-party to measure and compare the end-to-end life cycles of ISOProx PVC cards and HID Mobile Access credentials in terms of:
– Global warming potential
– Fossil fuel depletion
– Eutrophication
– Smog production
– Acidification
– Ozone depletion
