¿Qué incluyen los cálculos?

Los productos de higiene y limpieza comunes en nuestros hogares tienen una huella de carbono muy diversa, que varía principalmente en función de las materias primas utilizadas, la energía necesaria en la fase de producción y el envase; mientras que otras fases del ciclo de vida son menos importantes en este caso, como por ejemplo el transporte. Incluimos algunos datos promedio extraídos de fuentes científicas relevantes.
