Expert Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) consulting for sustainable growth

Assess carbon footprint and improve sustainability across product life cycles

LCAs provide a data-driven approach to understanding environmental performance by analyzing the entire or partial life cycle of a product, from raw material extraction and production to use, retail, and end-of-life. This allows businesses to identify opportunities for improvement, optimize resource use, and minimize emissions while ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.

Over the past decade, LCAs have evolved from a technical tool used primarily in research and policy to a business necessity. Companies across industries are leveraging LCAs to strengthen sustainability strategies, enhance operational efficiency, and gain a competitive edge.

Understand your product’s impact

A life cycle assessment (LCA) is a systematic analysis of a product to quantify the environmental impacts through the entire or partial life cycle, from raw material acquisition all the way to disposal or recycling. From sourcing materials to disposal, an LCA offers insights into the environmental impacts, both big and small, that carries throughout the entire lifespan of every product.

Measuring carbon footprint is one part of what an LCA can do, but it encompasses much more. Other environmental impacts that can be measured and assessed include water usage, energy usage, or contribution to natural processes like acidification and eutrophication. An LCA can even be used for evaluating social impacts, known as social-LCA.

An LCA enables organizations to look beyond its own activities to see the whole supply chain and life span of a product. Larger businesses are extensively using the assessments to quantify emissions, particularly around the measurement of carbon footprint. However, the tool is also extremely useful in many other ways.
No, an LCA is quite the opposite of a burden. It’s an opportunity to develop and sustain growth. The wise adage of ‘you cannot manage what you cannot measure’ is an important one. By quantifying the environmental impacts of a business, you bring new perspectives and visibility that can be very useful.

An LCA does not just help improve existing products, it sparks entirely new ways of doing things. For example, circular economy principles such as product-as-a-service (PaaS) models, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies, repurposing, and recycling can be directly informed by LCA insights.
