Monsen, a workwear specialist, will explore the impact of industrial wash and B2B requirements on LCA and PEF calculations. The project seeks to pinpoint the specific data necessary for accurate LCAs and bridge data gaps using EU-regulated emission factors and other innovative methodologies. Additionally, the initiative acknowledges the evolving landscape of PEF regulations. Although PEF is not yet compulsory under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and its Digital Product Passport (DPP), its components align closely with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements.

These updates will cover key milestones, including data collection, calculation methodologies, and actionable steps to enhance PEF outcomes, empowering other industry players to adopt similar sustainability measures.
