Conduct Product Life Cycle Assessments Using LCA Software

LCA is the science-based method used to evaluate the environmental performance and impact of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, embodying the principles of life cycle thinking. 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 performance of your company.

How Ecochain Improves Environmental Performance with LCA

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the gold standard for measuring the sustainability and environmental impact of your products and processes, but traditional LCA projects can be slow, complex, and expensive. Ecochain’s LCA software tools make it easy to conduct robust, verifiable environmental assessments in a fraction of the time.

Whether you’re looking to calculate Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs), generate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), or optimize your product designs, Ecochain provides the tools and insights you need to drive measurable sustainability outcomes.

Life Cycle Assessment with Ecochain

Conducting life cycle assessments can increase an organization’s credibility and reputation, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability initiatives and environmental responsibility. By using life cycle assessment software tools, companies can ensure that their LCAs are accurate, reliable, and transparent. This helps ensure regulatory compliance, gives stakeholders confidence in the results, and lends your business a competitive advantage.

Assess any material

Evaluate materials like metals, plastics, fabrics, glass, and more throughout the product’s lifecycle. 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, carbon emissions, and waste generation. Doing this enables you to identify the major contributors to your impact and supports informed decision-making on necessary changes, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Multi-level insights

View results on a supply chain, company, processes, product, and material level based on the data collected. Identify high-impact products and prioritize your R&D initiatives to products where it truly matters. Evaluate trade-offs between environmental impact and life cycle costing to inform product decisions.

Verify your claim

Create verifiable LCA results with our LCA tools. Our software empowers our customers to create LCAs in a broad range of standards, using various databases to support accurate and verifiable results. 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 effective data management by collecting all necessary life cycle inventory (LCI) data. Increase the credibility of your LCA results by using primary data in your calculations. The more environmental 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.

Anne Jacobs

Sustainability Specialist at Allshoes

Until you put numbers behind your decisions, everything's an assumption, and it's difficult to say you are creating impact until you have numbers.

Brad Vanstone

CEO at Willicroft

Through Ecochain Helix 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 Es

Project Coordinator Sustainability at Dura Vermeer Infra

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

Iris van Wanrooij

Program Manager CSR at EMMA SAfety Footwear

We started with a "box of data". But Ecochain Helix helped us turn our data into a sustainable story that helps us connect with our customers.

Jan-Willem van Loos

Co-owner at Studio Anneloes

Ecochain Helix 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.
