Measure your product’s environment footprint

Understand the life cycle impacts of your products, make your products more sustainable, and craft your product story

What is LCA?

LCA, or Life Cycle Assessment, is a globally accepted method for assessing the environmental impacts of materials, products, and processes throughout their life cycle. This includes raw material extraction, transport, assembly, use, and disposal. LCA also supports regulatory compliance, eco-labeling, and certification processes, enhancing the credibility of your sustainability claims.

Why Conduct an LCA?

Conducting an LCA enables you to:

Identify Environmental Hotspots

Pinpoint the most critical environmental stages in your product’s lifecycle for focused improvement.

Compare Alternatives

Assess and compare the environmental performance of different materials and processes to guide sustainable choices.

Support Data-Driven Marketing

Use LCA findings for transparency and credibility in sustainability marketing.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

Develop strategies to lower your product’s carbon footprint and achieve net-zero.

Review & Analysis

Calculate life cycle impacts across 16 environmental categories

This measures the acidification of soil caused by air pollutants like sulphur dioxide. Excessive acidification can harm plants, reduce soil fertility, and disrupt ecosystems.

Reflects the contribution of greenhouse gases to climate change over a 100-year period. GWP100 is crucial for understanding the long-term impact of emissions on global warming.

Indicates the potential harm of toxic substances to freshwater ecosystems, affecting organisms like fish and aquatic plants.

Assesses the impact of pollutants on marine environments, where toxic substances can harm marine life and disrupt ecosystems.

Measures the toxic effects of chemicals on land ecosystems, which can harm wildlife, plants, and soil microorganisms.

Evaluates the depletion of non-renewable fossil energy resources, focusing on the environmental consequences of continued fossil fuel use.

Indicates the nutrient overload (mainly phosphorus) in freshwater systems, which can lead to harmful algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and loss of biodiversity.

Refers to nutrient enrichment (mostly nitrogen) in marine environments, often leading to dead zones where marine life cannot survive due to oxygen depletion.

Assesses the potential for cancer-causing (carcinogenic) effects in humans due to exposure to toxic chemicals.
