What Does TEWI Stand For?

TEWI stands for Total Equivalent Warming Impact

Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) is a comprehensive metric used to assess the overall climate impact of a product or process by accounting for both direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. TEWI evaluates the contribution of substances to global warming over their entire lifecycle, integrating factors such as manufacturing, usage, and disposal. This measure aids in identifying opportunities for improving sustainability and reducing environmental footprints across various industries.
