    The document is an eco audit report for a plastic garden chair. It summarizes that the majority of the chair's energy usage and carbon footprint comes from the materials used in its production. Specifically, 77% of energy usage and 64% of carbon emissions are attributed to the plastic material. Manufacturing accounts for 22% of energy usage and 36% of carbon emissions. Transport, use, and disposal each make minor contributions to the chair's overall environmental impact.
