With our Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), we evaluate the environmental impacts of your products throughout their entire life cycle. Our services range from simplified assessments to identify optimization opportunities to standards-compliant LCAs that address regulatory requirements, customer inquiries, and sustainability reporting needs.
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method for evaluating the environmental impacts of a product throughout its entire life cycle – from raw material extraction, production, and transportation to use and end-of-life disposal. Its purpose is to identify the most significant environmental impacts and hotspots, providing a sound basis for decision-making in product development, sustainability strategies, and regulatory compliance.
Typically, information on raw materials, packaging, production processes, energy consumption, transportation, and disposal or recycling pathways is required. The specific data requirements depend on the product category and the applicable Product Category Rules (PCRs).
LCA Streamlined provides a practical initial assessment to identify significant environmental impacts and hotspots. LCA Full Compliance is conducted in accordance with relevant standards and program requirements and can serve as a basis for meeting regulatory requirements, customer expectations, or additional documentation needs.
LCA results can be used for product optimization, ecodesign, decarbonization measures, customer inquiries, and tenders. They can also provide a foundation for meeting requirements related to ESPR, DPP, EPD, and Green Claims.
