Life Cycle Assessment for products, processes and services

Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are a key scientific instrument for evaluating sustainability. They capture the environmental impacts of products, processes, or even entire companies over their entire life cycle – from raw material extraction to disposal.

Our services:

  • We conduct a life cycle assessment for you according to DIN EN ISO 14040 and 14044. You choose the scope. Whether from raw material extraction to disposal (cradle to grave) or only specific sections (e.g., cradle to gate): our experts develop a customized LCA for you.

    You will receive a comprehensive report that not only considers the carbon footprint but also includes a variety of relevant environmental impacts such as ecotoxicity, land use, ozone depletion, resource availability, and more, based on established evaluation methods such as ReCiPe, EPD, or EF.

    It is also possible to create comparative LCAs to contrast products or processes in terms of their sustainability.

  • When determining the Product Carbon Footprint, we can consider all stages of your product's or process's life cycle. The determination of the PCF differs from the LCA in its focus on greenhouse gas emissions. Our experts assess the impact on climate change. We help you uncover your climate impact in the context of climate protection goals so that you can improve and demonstrate the sustainability of your processes and products.

  • EPDs are a standardized and verified format for the communication of LCA results, mainly used in the construction sector. Each EPD is based on a detailed LCA, specified by international standards such as EN15804 and specific product category rules. EPDs are verified by a third party and published through national or international program carriers.

  • Most funding guidelines now require an assessment of the potential for greenhouse gas reduction and project sustainability. We support you in the application phase by setting the right framework and conducting a potential analysis to maximize your chances of receiving a positive funding decision.

  • Would you like to build up basic knowledge about life cycle assessments? If so, we will create a tailor-made training course for you and your team! We will teach the basics and incorporate your case studies into an interactive workshop, laying the foundation for a targeted, meaningful LCA. Whether on-site at your premises or online – we will find a solution!

  • If you want to create and publish a comparative life cycle assessment, a critical review is recommended. This strengthens the credibility of your results. We review your LCA as an independent third party in compliance with DIN EN ISO 14040 and 14044. LCA studies created by us are reviewed by qualified independent partners.

  • Do you have specific requirements or are unsure about your options? Do you need support in data collection (including on-site)?

    Together, we will find the right solution for you!
