Use phase

Use phase is the third stage of lifecycle stages. Here, we dive deep into the real-world utilization of products by consumers across different geographical locations.  

During this phase, we capture data related to the care and maintenance of products post-purchase. This invaluable use phase data reflects the diverse needs and behaviors of consumers worldwide. For each geographical location, you'll find comprehensive data encompassing care instructions – think washing, drying, and ironing – and usage attributes. These usage attributes span a range of factors including service life, number of washes, number of repairs, and even time in hours.  

Incorporate this valuable use phase data to gain a comprehensive understanding of how your use phase information contributes to your footprint and tailor your sustainability efforts accordingly.

End of life

The fourth and final stage in your product's lifecycle journey—the end of life phase. Here, we shed light on the programs and initiatives you've undertaken for the responsible disposal of your products. These programs encompass various pathways, such as recycling, reusing, taking back, or municipal disposal, ensuring a sustainable approach to product disposal. The end of life phase represents the culmination of your product's lifecycle, focusing on what happens once it's been discarded by the user.    

Incorporating the end of life phase data enables you to gain a holistic view of how your end of life phase information contributes to your footprint. By embracing responsible disposal practices, you contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly product lifecycle.

Replace Supplier with Country or Region

Users can now replace the default global supplier of any component in the supply chain with a country or state of the supplier if the specific supplier is not known. This helps achieve better accuracy in your supply chain data in scenarios when a particular component is sourced from an open market or the supplier is only willing to share the country of region of upstream supplier.
