Conduct Life Cycle Assessments

LCA is the science-based method used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle. It considers all stages, from raw material extraction to disposal or recycling. It helps you quantify environmental impacts of your products and processes, enabling you to make informed decisions and improvements in the sustainability of your company.

Life Cycle Assessment with Ecochain

Assess any material

Evaluate materials like metals, plastics, fabrics, glass and more. Access associated data on the environmental impacts including extraction, processing, transportation, and disposal. Design alternatives with lower carbon footprints, higher recyclability, and reduced toxicity.

Zoom into hotspots

Analyze the environmental impacts of different materials, components and manufacturing processes involved in the production of your product. Consider factors like energy consumption, water usage, waste generation, and emissions. Doing this enables you to identify the major contributors to your impact and make necessary changes.

Multi-level insights

View results on a supply chain, company, processes, product and material level. Identify high-impact products and prioritize your R&D initiatives to products where it truly matters.

Verify your claim

Create verifiable LCA results with our LCA software solutions. Our software empowers our customers to create LCAs in a broad range of standards. Write LCA reports or EPDs according to the EN15804+A2:2019 and submit your EPD at several Programme Operators such as: EPD International, EPD Norge or MRPI-EPD.

Increase credibilty

Create high quality LCAs by using primary data. Our software visually supports collecting all necessary life cycle inventory (LCI) data. Increase the credibility of your LCA results by using primary data in your calculations. The more data you collect directly from your supply chain, the better. Preferably you only use production specific measurements. This will increase the accuracy and credibility of your LCA

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.

With Ecochain

✓ Product-specific impact results – Get customized footprint data that reflects your unique products across your portfolio. Substantiate your claims at a detailed level.

✓ No risk of inaccurate claims – Report accurate, defensible product impact results that stand up to scrutiny.

✓ LCA automation software – Built for non-experts. Low total cost of ownership (TCO) from data setup to publication.

✓ Software + expert services – As low as €50 per EPD.

✓ Publish in weeks, not months – Meet stakeholder demands faster.

✓ Future-proof – New products, new regulations, new markets, evolving sustainability goals, you name it. Your LCA data foundation scales with you.

What our customers say

Using Ecochain, we were able to generate our EPDs far more efficiently than other methods. The software streamlined the workflow and the team helped us through the entire EPD generation process whenever we needed.

Graham KazieGroup HSEQ Manager at F Brazil Reinforcements

Through Ecochain software we have the possibility to make the environmental footprint of all our asphalt mixtures - and make it transparent. This also allows us to convince our clients and partners to take sustainable steps.

Sven van EsProject Coordinator Sustainability at Dura Vermeer Infra

Ecochain software is intuitive and easy to work with. We were able to get reliable product footprints quickly without needing deep LCA expertise. It’s a tool that genuinely supports teams in getting up and running fast.

Paul CroweEnvironmental Impact Specialist at Solo midocean

Ecochain gives us the capability to easily scale product footprinting across our entire portfolio. Their expertise helped us structure data, validate assumptions and create robust LCA models. We identified hotspots to improve and made smarter design choices. The solutions also helps us improve supplier collaboration and transparency – making us work faster and more credibly.

Ralph van den EijndenHead of R&D at Lightronics

Ecochain has allowed us to print footprint decisions to the earliest stage of our planning process, allowing us to proactively plan more sustainable product lines vs. forcing us to react months after a review.

Matt BreuerCMO at Buffy

Customers increasingly ask for different sustainability criteria. With Ecochain’s LCA software we now have extensive footprint reports for our shoe models, clearly outlining the impact from the production to the end of life phase.
