What is the Comparison feature?

The Comparison feature aids in assessing and understanding the different environmental impacts of two products or product designs. In doing so, the tool offers insights into the 'hotspots', or the areas of greatest environmental impact, of your products, emphasizing areas where adjustments can be made to enhance overall sustainability. This functionality is crucial for making informed decisions during the product design phase.


What are the steps to creating a product comparison?

Learn how to create product comparisons:

1. Access the Comparison feature: Find the Tools menu in the top right of your Product inventory, and select Compare products (Figure 1).

  • Change the impact category: Select the impact category that suits your interests by choosing from the impact categories in the dropdown menu in the top right corner of the dashboard (Figure 3).

  • Explore the different views: Choose between the Model, Table, and Stacked Chart to help visualize the differences between the two products.
