Our LCA study services
Our Expertise in LCA
We conduct studies ranging from simple screening LCAs to analyses covering multiple scenarios and sensitivity assessments. All our peer reviewed studies have successfully passed the process, ensuring scientific credibility.
Our services include:
- Product-based LCA: Evaluate environmental impacts of individual products and guide eco-design.
- Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs): Provide transparent, standardized environmental data for your products. Read more about our EPD service here.
- Organizational LCA: Assess the environmental footprint of your entire company or business unit.
- Advanced LCAs: Address complex methodological topics, including dynamic and prospective LCAs, enabling forward-looking environmental assessments.
- Technical support with RangeLCA software: through our partner Pilario, you can purchase a license to use our professional RangeLCA software yourself. We can provide technical assistance and help you become an LCA-expert yourself.
Partner with us to leverage the power of LCA in your sustainability strategy and make informed decisions that deliver real environmental benefits while supporting your business objectives.
An adapted solution for your proper needs
We adapt each LCA study to your specific objectives, internal resources, and communication needs.
Depending on your expectations, we can deliver a rapid screening LCA, summarised in a clear and practical PowerPoint format, ideal for internal decision-making and strategic discussions. For more advanced needs, we conduct comprehensive LCA studies with detailed, ISO-compliant reports designed for external communication and stakeholder scrutiny.
We understand that LCA projects vary greatly in scope, complexity, and deliverable requirements, which demands flexibility and methodological expertise. Unlike standardised tools such as EPD generators or carbon accounting software, we are not limited to predefined formats or simplified models. These tools often struggle to handle complex systems, multiple scenarios, and nuanced assumptions. Our approach combines robust modelling with expert interpretation, enabling us to transform complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations.
Our software RangeLCA
To carry out our LCA studies, we use our software, RangeLCA.
FAQ Section
What is an LCA?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful methodology to evaluate the environmental performance of a product, service, or organization across its entire life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, use, and end-of-life.
Why should my company conduct an LCA?
An LCA helps you identify impact hotspots, reduce your environmental footprint, support eco-design decisions, comply with regulations, and communicate transparently with clients and stakeholders.
Is an LCA only about carbon footprint?
No. While climate change is one important indicator, an LCA also assesses other environmental impacts such as water use, resource depletion, air pollution, etc.
What is the difference between a carbon footprint and LCA?
A carbon footprint measures only greenhouse gas emissions (climate change impact). An LCA goes further by assessing multiple environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, water use, air pollution, and ecosystem effects.
By taking a multi-criteria approach, LCAs go beyond single-impact evaluations, considering multiple environmental dimensions simultaneously. This holistic perspective helps companies identify hotspots and opportunities for improvement while avoiding “problem shifting,” where solving one environmental issue inadvertently worsens another.
