As the scope and standards of environmental regulations are expanding and strengthening, environmental impact assessment and carbon emission reduction activities for new product lines are spreading, and the environmental impact of Scope 3 is also gaining attention. Companies are disclosing environmental information through LCA and EPD results, but there are differences in environmental information results by country due to different standards for calculating environmental performance. Therefore, this study selected body wash products among cosmetics and compared the data collection and methodology in Korea and Europe and the results of applying them, and secondly, compared the carbon emissions of using recycled plastics in the containers of these products compared to the existing ones.
