15 years delivering LCA solutions
2M+ LCAs conducted with thousands of EPDs published through EPD Global, NMD, MRPI, EPD International and IBU – we know what verifiers expect and what holds up under scrutiny.
LCA experts to support you when needed
50+ years combined LCA expertise across our team of PhD-level environmental specialists and industry experts fluent in Dutch, English and German. You’re not figuring this out alone when you don’t want to.
Product impact data you own, control and scale
Without Ecochain
✗ One-size-fits-all impact results – AI tools and locked datasets can provide inaccurate and generic numbers for similar products across your portfolio. No way to substantiate your claims at a detailed level.
✗Risk of legal disputes – Generic data puts your reputation at risk when you can’t prove product-specific accuracy.
✗ Legacy software – Built for LCA experts. High costs.
✗ Traditional consultant dependency – €12,000+ per EPD, no reusability.
✗ Months-long timelines – Missing tender deadlines while waiting for verification.
✗ One and done approach – No reusable foundation to build on. One-off product footprints that don’t scale.

FAQs about Ecochain LCA automation software
What is Ecochain software and what does it do?
Ecochain is LCA automation software that helps manufacturers measure, manage and communicate the environmental impact of their products at scale.
Instead of hiring traditional consultants for one-off LCA studies or struggling with complex legacy software, Ecochain gives you the tools and expert support to build your own LCA foundation. Once that’s in place, you can generate verified EPDs, PCFs and LCA reports across your entire product portfolio – in days, not months.
What if we don't have LCA expertise in-house? Can we still use Ecochain?
That’s exactly why we combine Ecochain software with expert services. Our team of LCA and EPD specialists helps you set up your data foundation, trains your team and remains available whenever you have questions. You don’t need a PhD or LCA expertise to use Ecochain software.
How much does Ecochain cost compared to hiring consultants?
Traditional LCA consulting firms charge €10,000+ per EPD with costs that scale linearly – need 50 EPDs, pay €500,000+. Ecochain flips this model: you pay for software access and expert support to build your LCA foundation once, then generate EPDs at a fraction of the cost – as low as €50 per product at scale across your portfolio.
Can Ecochain software adapt fast when regulations change or we enter new markets?
Yes. Once your LCA foundation is built in Ecochain software, adapting to new regulations or market requirements is straightforward.
Need to comply with CPR in Europe, then expand to UK markets with different program operators? Re-calculate your models with updated assumptions and publish to the platforms each market requires – all from the same system.
When regulations change, you update your data and regenerate results in days, not months. You’re not starting from scratch or waiting on traditional consulting companies to rebuild everything. Ecochain software is designed for flexibility as requirements evolve.
Why should I choose Ecochain?
- Speed without sacrificing accuracy: Build your LCA foundation once with expert support, then generate verifiable EPDs, PCFs and other environmental profiles in days – not months of waiting on traditional consultants companies. Respond to customer requests and tender deadlines faster than competitors still outsourcing project-by-project.
- Scale without exploding costs: Traditional consulting charges €10,000+ per EPD. Ecochain’s verify-once model drops costs to as low as €50 per EPD at scale. Generate hundreds or thousands of EPDs across your portfolio without linear cost increases.
- Control without needing a PhD in LCA: You own your data, models and results. Make updates, run scenarios and adapt to new regulations without depending on external experts. The software and our experts guide non-experts through the process while maintaining accuracy and compliance.
Does Ecochain integrate with other systems?
We support CSV, Excel and API imports and exports for product impact data.
What program operators does Ecochain work with?
Ecochain works with all major EPD program operators in Europe. You can publish verified EPDs, PCFs, and environmental profiles via POs like NMD, MRPI, EPD Global, EPD International or IBU.
What do you mean by ‘Verify once. Pay once’?
With Ecochain’s verify-once model, one third-party verification covers your entire facility or product group, not individual products. Build your LCA foundation for your manufacturing processes once, then generate hundreds or thousands of EPDs within that verified scope. You pay for one verification that covers all products, not separate verification fees for each EPD. This is how costs drop from €10,000+ per product to as low as €50 per EPD at scale.
