The end of life stage can't be changed when creating inventory products. We don't let users decide on the end of life, since it is impossible to control or know how products will end up as waste after use.

Inventory products represent real life products and can be shared as eco forecasts or in comparisons, greenwashing is a risk when we allow to change the end of life scenario.

Therefore we fallback on data on waste treatment for every material in our database and create an end of life scenario based on that.

How can I change the end of life?

  • By creating a scenario product

  • By providing evidence that the waste treatment is different.
