• Key Concepts: 
  Footprint per unit is a metric used in SUS-PFM Product Footprint Management to measure the environmental impact of a product. It is calculated by dividing the total environmental impact of a product by the number of units produced. This metric helps companies understand the environmental impact of their products and make informed decisions about their production processes.
  
  How to use it: 
  To calculate the footprint per unit, you need to first calculate the total environmental impact of a product. This can be done by measuring the amount of energy, water, and materials used in production, as well as any emissions or waste generated. Once you have this information, you can divide it by the number of units produced to get the footprint per unit.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the footprint per unit, it is important to consider all aspects of production, including energy, water, materials, emissions, and waste. Additionally, it is important to consider how long a product will last and how much energy and resources will be used in its disposal.
  
  Related Information: 
  The footprint per unit metric is part of a larger concept known as life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA is a tool used to measure the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle, from production to disposal. It can help companies identify areas where they can reduce their environmental impact and make more sustainable decisions.
