Eco-costs value ratio

The EVR model is a Life Cycle Assessment based method to analyse consumption patterns, business strategies and design options in terms of eco-efficient value creation. Next to this it is used to compare products and service systems (e.g. benchmarking). The EVR is also relevant for business strategies, because companies are facing the slow but inevitable internalization of environmental costs. At the moment the costs of products don’t take into account the environmental damage caused by these products. This "pollution is for free" mentality is less and less accepted by communities.
