What's behind EPIs
(OP)
Could anybody explain, in simple terms, what is behind an Environmental Performance Indicator (EPI), or where can I find some information (not too much details) about this topic?
Thanks,

RE: What's behind EPIs
EPI is a scalar quantity where the total effect of the environmental impacts (by emissions or consumptions per unit of product) is calculated from a weighted average of the impacts. It is based on 13 impact categories, within three main groups:
- Resource depletion parameters-resource effy., 4 parameters
- Health impact parameters-health quality, 2 parameters
- Ecological parameters-ecological quality, 7 parameters
