Define Goals and Boundaries
Have a product or service you want or need to evaluate? We start by defining the goals and scope of your Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Our experts ensure the system boundaries, functional units, and data requirements are aligned with international standards, setting a strong foundation for accurate and meaningful results.
Inventory Data Collection and Analysis
Data Collection and LCA Development: Accurate inventory data is key to a robust LCA & EPD. Our team will guide you through collecting primary and secondary data across the product lifecycle stages, from raw material extraction to disposal. We use advanced tools and databases to ensure precision and reliability in the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI).
Impact Assessment and Interpretation
LCA Impact Assessment: We conduct a thorough Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) per the TRACI 2.1 methodology to evaluate environmental impacts such as carbon footprint, water use, and resource contamination. Our detailed interpretation highlights emission and resource hotspots to provide actionable insights for cost savings and enhance sustainability performance.
Verification and Publication
Building on the foundation of your LCIA, we will prepare a Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). Developed in compliance with international standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2, the EPD will undergo third-party verification to ensure accuracy and credibility. Once verified, we will publish the EPD through the relevant program operator, fully aligned with the applicable Product Category Rule (PCR) discovered in Step 1. More and more industries are requiring products to carry EPD’s due to buyer policies.
Leverage Your Environmental Attributes
An LCA or EPD is a critical prerequisite for companies looking to access carbon financing or carbon pricing mechanisms to scale their operations and drive industry decarbonization.
