Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an essential tool for understanding the environmental impact of a product throughout its journey, from raw material extraction and production to distribution, consumption, and disposal. Our approach to LCA is grounded in precision, clarity, and adherence to internationally recognized standards, including ISO 14001, ISO 14040, ISO 14044, ISO 14064, and ISO 14067.

We leverage open-source tools like openLCA and rely on robust, open-source databases to ensure our assessments are both comprehensive and transparent. This approach provides credible results and also ensures adaptability to the unique needs of each client.

Our process starts with a thorough inventory analysis, identifying resource use, energy flows, and emissions. From this foundation, we perform a detailed impact assessment, quantifying key indicators such as greenhouse gas emissions, water use, waste generation, etc. For products with carbon sequestration potential, we incorporate this dimension to deliver a holistic evaluation.

The insights gained from our LCAs go beyond compliance. They inform practical strategies to improve processes, reduce environmental impacts, and align with sustainability goals; we identify hotspots and signal opportunities for improvement. Whether you are interested in addressing specific phases of the product life cycle or seeking a cradle-to-grave analysis, our services provide actionable, data-centered reports.

In a competitive landscape increasingly defined by sustainability, our LCA services help organizations not only meet but exceed regulatory and market expectations. By equipping you with clear, credible, and actionable insights, we ensure your sustainability initiatives stand up to scrutiny and deliver measurable value.
