Understanding your products enviromental impact.

With our life cycle assessment you will understand your current impact on the environment, a visualization of the most impactfull factors and get insights in different scenario’s and opportunities that will make your product more sustainable and future proof.

Life cycle assessment explained

A life cylce assessment is a method to calculate and understand the environmental impact of product, service or process throughout its entire life cycle. This includes the extraction of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, usage, and disposal or recycling. By assessing these stages, LCA helps in understanding the complete environmental impact of a product or process. Check also our example explaining the process in more detail.

  • Is there a lower-carbon feedstock you could choose?

  • Are you powering your production process via renewables?

  • Can you use a more sustainable material for your packaging?

  • How can you optimise your logistics? Are you using an electric fleet?

  • What is your by-product volume? Can you switch to compostable packaging or a more circulair product?

Our LCA methodology

Define the scope

Identify objectives, goals and define the LCA scope to understand your products footprint. What is already done, what is available. What do we want to measure and with what goal. Alignment on main objectives and outline this in a clear and simple plan of approach.

Flow chart

Visualize each step in the production process. From sourcing raw materials, production, transportation and waste handling. A flowchart helps us to have a systematic approach to assessing your products carbon footprint.

Data collection

The data collection process can be the most difficult and time consuming. We will engage with other departments, suppliers and stakeholders to get as much primairy data as possible.When primairy data isn’t available, our experts will use secondairy data.

Insights and hotspots

Per element, the impact will be calculated and presented into a visualization. We will show high impact areas and hotspots. This will help you to understand overall impact and where the quick wins are. By understanding the most impactfull areas, we can now start the eco-design process.

Eco design - build out scenario’s

The Eco-design is where innovation starts and you can really achieve a return on investment. With the goal to reduce negative impact, we build out differenct scenario’s showing alternative ingredients or processes. This enables you to make data driven decisions and ensure compliancy according to the EU Anti-greenwashing directive.

Implement best practices around continues improvement. Regularly review your earlier LCA’s and keep them up to date. For new innovations, join forces with universities and similar organizations to be on top of the newest trends and discoveries.

Continuous improvement
