We need to understand on what basis parameters were selected for example Acidification Potential
[kg SO2-Equiv.], Eutrophication Potential [kg Phosphate-Equiv.] etc any particular standard for it?

Response: The selection of parameters such as Acidification Potential [kg SO2-Equiv.] and
Eutrophication Potential [kg Phosphate-Equiv.] in our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study was based on
international standards outlined in ISO 14040-44. The details have been provided in page no.8 of the
report for all the impact categories.

2.Also wanted to know on what basis you considered assumptions are taken, For example ozone -
treated purified water used in process (we know the actual quantity of usage than why its in
assumptions?

Response: The assumptions here means that certain conditions or factors have been taken into
account for the LCA assessment, by considering their actual quantity of usage.

3.The process for Ethoxylated lauryl alcohol production is referred from the literature [3]. What is this
literature (3) ?

Response: The source of the literature has been mentioned in the report on page 49.
