In the spirit of the holidays, we're going to break from our usual subject matter and share this interesting item: the first ISO-compliant, third-party peer reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) comparing artificial Christmas trees to real Christmas trees (in case you ever wondered!).
The LCA-study took into consideration five key indicators to determine which tree type is preferable from an environmental perspective. The results of the LCA found that the choice of either has a negligible impact on the environment compared with the overall individual family´s carbon footprint. However, the study’s findings also show that length of ownership, disposal method and “tree miles” can make a difference as to which tree is environmentally preferable.
