An eco-balance typically has consumption of resources, e.g. water consumption, energy consumption and waste products, e.g. CO2 production. Incoming products and outgoing products having a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for storing their own ecological balance. A calculation unit for each link of a whole product chain of the specific product, is calculating an aggregated ecological balance from parameters of the process of the actual link and from ecologic balances of incoming products, if there are any, and storing it to the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag of the outgoing product of the actual link.
