Our software automates the hard stuff – calculations, compliance checks, report generation – so you get defensible, verifiable LCA outputs quickly. Customized for your products. Compliant with all relevant standards.
- Calculate impact on products, portfolio, or factory levels
- Generate EPDs, PCFs and LCA background reports automatically in multiple formats
- All relevant LCIA methods built in (EN 15804+A2, EF 3.1, ReCiPe, etc.)
- Hotspot analysis – instantly see where the impact is highest
- CPR, CBAM, CSRD, DPP compliance-ready LCA outputs
- Verify once, pay once model – as low as €50/EPD
- Ecochain experts help you accelerate your results
Use product impact data to compete, not just comply
Ecochain’s scenario modeling lets you test ‘what-if’ decisions before you make them. Switch materials. Optimize production. Source differently. Get answers that your competitors who use generic, locked datasets can’t deliver.
- Customized models for each product (not one-size-fits-all results)
- Scenario modeling (test material changes, production methods, supply chain shifts)
- Comparison feature (see impact differences between products, years, production facilities)
- Supply chain collaboration (link suppliers’ data to your footprint – full transparency, shared goals)
- Ecochain experts support you with ongoing and future needs
500+ manufacturers worldwide rely on Ecochain for 2M+ LCAs and counting

See how Ecochain turns complex product data into clear product impact insights. Model real scenarios, compare options and generate EPDs, PCFs and LCA background reports that pass verification.
LCA software built for your team’s reality.
Ecochain gives you visibility into product impact across your offering, regulatory readiness and the confidence that your sustainability claims hold up to scrutiny.
Ecochain for sustainability teams
Get recognized as a strategic partner, not the bottleneck
When sales needs an EPD for a tender, marketing wants a PCF to back up product carbon emissions or management requests impact data for board meetings, you need accurate results – fast.
Ecochain gives you a living product impact data foundation – not a one-off project. Your key stakeholders can access results when they need them. When sales needs an EPD, you can deliver. When marketing makes a sustainability claim, the proof is ready. Ecochain keeps you up-to-date when regulations, databases and standards change.
Your product impact data becomes the backbone of your sustainability strategy, not just another deliverable.
Ecochain for product and design teams
Test product design and improvement decisions before you commit to them.
Redesigning a product line. Changing materials. Sourcing from a different supplier. Every choice you make affects your environmental impact – and your budget.
Ecochain gives you instant scenario modeling for product decisions. Want to lock in a material change? Quickly see the impact difference. Want to switch to a different supplier for the same component? Check the impact before you commit. Plan to redesign for lighter weight? Model what happens to your product footprint.
You become the person who designs products that are better, more sustainable and protect ROI.
Ecochain for sales and marketing teams
Win tenders. Stand out in RFPs. Back up your claims.
Customers ask for EPDs, PCFs, or other product footprint reports. Tenders require product impact data. You need trustworthy, differentiated data fast – not generic estimates.
Ecochain helps you win pipeline and close deals faster. You get verifiable product-specific impact results in weeks, not months, that reflect your actual production process and suppliers – unique numbers for each product, not generic portfolio-wide estimates. Get large volumes of EPDs verified at once with our ‘verify once, pay once’ model, so you scale without per-product verification fees eating into your margins.
You win on product impact data specificity, not just sustainability claims.
Built for manufacturers who need results, not just reports
Frequently asked questions about Ecochain Software
Is Ecochain software different from Ecochain Helix and Mobius?
No, Ecochain Helix and Ecochain Mobius are part of the same Ecochain LCA automation software. Helix and Mobius are simply names we’ve used in the past to describe different applications of the software – product-level footprinting and portfolio footprinting at scale.
Today, we call it Ecochain software for a better product experience. Whether you’re generating EPDs for construction products or need PCFs to meet customer needs, you’re using the same underlying solution with the tools, data management capabilities and LCA expert support you need.
How long does Ecochain implementation take?
Implementation of Ecochain is quick – typically a few days to a few weeks. Here’s what happens during implementation:
- Account setup and user access configuration
- Data integration (connecting your systems or importing existing data)
- Training sessions for your team
- Setting up your workspace and project structure
Once Ecochain software is implemented, you begin building your LCA foundation – defining manufacturing processes, uploading product data and creating LCA models. This setup phase takes a few days to a few weeks depending on your portfolio complexity and how quickly you can gather product data. Our LCA experts support you throughout both implementation and the LCA setup process.
Can we use our existing supplier data?
Yes, Ecochain is built to work with the data you already have.
You can import primary data from suppliers (material specs, energy use, transport distances) via CSV, XLSX or API, your own bill of materials and product specifications, or use secondary data to fill gaps with Ecoinvent or other LCI databases included in Ecochain. This gives you accurate, product-specific results across your portfolio – not one-size-fits-all results from locked datasets.
What if suppliers won't give us product impact data?
If suppliers won’t or cannot provide you with product data, you’re not blocked. Ecochain software includes comprehensive LCI databases like Ecoinvent or NMD that provide secondary data for materials, energy, transport and manufacturing processes.
Best practice?
- Start with secondary data to build your LCA models and generate results.
- As your suppliers become more willing to share primary data (or as regulations require it) you can update your models to improve accuracy.
Many manufacturers find that requesting environmental data from suppliers becomes easier once they can show their own EPDs or PCFs. It creates momentum in the supply chain. You lead by example, and suppliers often follow.
The key is getting started with the data you have access to now, then improving data quality over time as your supply chain matures.
What’s the price of Ecochain software?
Pricing depends on your use case, portfolio size and the level of support you need.
We offer flexible plans designed for different business needs – from teams just getting started with LCA to manufacturers scaling EPD generation across hundreds of products. Whether you need hands-on expert support or prefer more independence, there’s a plan that fits.
Visit our pricing page at www.ecochain.com/pricing to explore options, or contact our team for a custom quote based on your specific requirements.
We only need one EPD right now – is Ecochain an overkill for us?
Whether Ecochain is the right solution for your needs or not, depends on what happens after that first EPD. If you genuinely need just one EPD and never plan to create more, then yes – hiring a consultant for a one-off project might make more sense.
But if that “one EPD” is likely to become five, then ten, then requests for your entire product line – which is what most manufacturers experience – then starting with Ecochain makes sense. You build the LCA foundation once and avoid paying €10,000+ per EPD as demand grows.
Why is this important?
- Most companies think they need one EPD.
- Then customers ask for more. Regulations expand. Tenders require portfolio-wide data.
- Suddenly you’re back to square one, paying traditional LCA consulting firms hundreds of thousands for what could have been automated and much cheaper from the start.
Ecochain software is built for scale. If there’s any chance you’ll need more than one EPD, you’re better off starting here.
How much does it cost to generate an EPD with Ecochain software?
It depends on your portfolio size and verification scope, but costs drop to as low as €50 per EPD at scale – compared to €10,000+ per EPD with traditional consulting.
