IPP Indicators

The objectives of the project could be splitted up into five phases:

Phase 1 Summarise existing IPP-related indicators, assessing their use-fulness for monitoring the environmental impacts of a European IPP that could be used for IPP

Phase 2 Analyse possible ways to measure the change in the environ-mental impacts of products over time and charting this for some products

Phase 3 Suggest how these ways could be improved in order to create future indicators for IPP

Phase 4 Suggest other possible indicators to measure the change in the environmental impacts of product over time, including an as-sessment of their data collection and information needs

Phase 5 Develop a 'basket of products', representative of as much of the market and as large an environmental impact as possible, whose environmental attributes could be tracked over time as a potential indicator for the effectiveness of IPP.
