Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Products
Measure the environmental impact of your products across their full life cycle to support eco design, market transparency and strategic decisions.
Start your Life Cycle AssessmentUnderstand the real environmental impact of your products.
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impact of a product across its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end of life. It helps companies identify the main sources of environmental impact, improve product design and respond to growing expectations from clients, regulators and markets. LCA provides the data needed to support eco design strategies, product transparency and sustainability positioning.
What is a Life Cycle Assessment?
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most accurate tool for a comprehensive, multi-criteria evaluation of environmental impacts. It analyses each stage of the product system to understand where environmental impacts occur and where improvements are possible.
An LCA typically includes:
- Analysis from raw material extraction to end of life
- Evaluation of multiple environmental impact indicators
- Identification of hotspots across the product life cycle
- Comparison of different product or design scenarios
- Alignment with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards
LCA provides a scientific basis to guide eco design and product strategy.
Is your company concerned?
Your company may need a Life Cycle Assessment if:
Clients request environmental product data or transparency
Your products are involved in public tenders or B2B supply chains
Your company wants to develop eco designed products
You want to identify environmental hotspots across product life cycles
Your sector faces growing sustainability regulations
Understanding product impacts allows companies to innovate and stay competitive.
Our Structured Approach
Phase 1: Project Framing
A carbon footprint covering Scopes 1, 2 and 3 is often a useful starting point to identify the main emission sources linked to products and value chains.
Then:
- Definition of the LCA scope and product system
- Identification of key materials, processes and boundaries
Objective: define a clear and relevant scope for the analysis.
Phase 2: Product Data Collection
- Identification of raw materials, packaging and production steps
- Collection of activity data and emission factors
Objective: build the data foundation of the LCA.
Phase 3: Impact Calculation and Verification
- Environmental impact modelling using recognised databases
- Data verification and consistency checks
Objective: calculate reliable environmental impact indicators.
Phase 4: Eco Design Analysis and Strategic Recommendations
- Identification of environmental hotspots across the life cycle
- Comparison of alternative product scenarios
- Interpretation of results and synthesis report
- Definition of improvement and eco design actions
Objective: identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact and translate results into actionable product strategy.
