Assess the sustainability of Kashmir craft products across material sourcing, chemical safety, and product durability.
Empirical life cycle carbon footprinting, chemical restricted substance screening, and functional durability assessments for Kashmir craft traditions. Methodology aligned with ISO 14040/14044 lifecycle principles and ISO 14067 product carbon-footprint quantification.
Products Assessed
2 of 2 active craft LCI records
Primary-Data Coverage
11 of 18 workshop parameters verified
Material-Origin Evidence
18 of 22 material records traced to batch/source
Versioned Emission Factors
CEA India v22.0 + IPCC AR6 datasets
CLEE replaces arbitrary marketing assertions with transparent, activity-based calculation models. Every assessment exposes its declared system boundary, functional unit, and primary data quality rating (Grades A–E).
Evaluating physical material integrity, toxicological input restrictions, and empirical service life benchmarks:
Continuous sub-metering, direct on-site workshop timing logs, and lab-analyzed batch records.
Artisan purchase invoices, verified supplier utility bills, and registered batch procurement manifests.
Peer-reviewed academic publications and regional handicraft lifecycle inventory datasets.
National grid baseline emissions (CEA India v22.0) and standard logistics models (GLEC Framework v3.0).
Expert engineering assumption where verified primary or regional secondary data is not yet available.
