The challenge
How can a purchasing department make an informed choice regarding the environmental impact of its products? This was the question Dille & Kamille approached Hedgehog with.
The approach
As a pilot, we conducted an LCA study to understand the environmental impact of glass, wood, ceramic, and enamel bowls.
The result
This was a good pilot to gauge where Dille & Kamille stands in terms of material sustainability.
However, the results were surprising and some outcomes were quite disappointing. In some respects, the materials used turned out not to be necessarily more sustainable than plastic, which was an eye-opener.

"We definitely learned a lot from the LCA. An LCA makes sustainability “real”; you get the facts instead of lingering in a sort of feeling or assumptions."
