Product LCAs, made simple

The free trial allows you to find out how Mobius works. Scenarios can be built, impact datasets can be found in the LCI databases (e.g. Ecoinvent 3.8), questions can be asked to experts, and you can learn how to model and adjust a full life cycle for you product. The trials functions as a free training to learn more about LCA and environmental impact measurements. Start creating LCAs in an easy way.

The features are the same as for the paid Mobius version(s). The only difference is the #datasets you can take from our impact (LCI) database Ecoinvent. This holds a maximum of 20 datasets in the free trial.

Each trial includes 2×30 minute calls with one of our experts. Additionally, we have recorded several tutorial videos that give our users more information about how the tool works- and what exactly you can do with it. You can find them in our Help Center.

The free trial, Professional, Business, and Enterprise subscription plans of Ecochain Mobius come with the LCI database Ecoinvent (versions: 3.5, 3.6, and 3.8). The Dutch NMD Bepalingsmethode is also included. The Ecochain Mobius free trial has a limit of 20 Ecoinvent datasets that can be used during the trial.

Basically, there are two options:

• Monthly subscription (can be cancelled monthly): via our free trial environment of Mobius, a subscription can be purchased via credit card. So start your free trial and purchase the software whenever you like.
• Annual subscription (terminable annually): if there is an immediate interest in an annual contract, please contact us. We will share a tailor-made offer specific to your situation. Contact: info@ecochain.com

• What happens if the design uses less material? (Scenario-based Analysis)
• Is material ‘A’ superior to material ‘B’ from an environmental life cycle perspective?
• Are recycled materials more environmentally friendly in this application? (Comparative Analysis)
• Does this design maximize transport efficiency? (Cube Utilization)
• How do varying recycle rates affect end-of-life impact? (Custom Recycling Analysis)
• What are the biggest sources of impact, and what are the alternatives? (Environmental Hot-Spot Analysis)
• How does this package design stack up in terms of carbon footprint, water footprint, or nitrogen footprint?
• Will a redesign be better than the original from an environmental perspective?

• Identify stages or materials where additional impact can be reduced.
• Create innovative products based on sustainable designs
• Reduce time and energy spent on the life cycle and sustainable design research
• Identify the environmental impact of your product early in the design process allowing ‘prevention’ rather than ‘cure’
• Prioritise simple solutions by highlighting the most environmentally damaging processes and materials
• Identify opportunities for innovation
• Compare existing products with theoretical alternatives
• Compare existing products with competitor products
• Estimate the environmental impact of a product over its entire lifespan
• Target specific carbon emissions of individual stages of the products life cycle
• Tailor each individual LCA to cater to different world locations
• Use for marketing and product eco-labeling

Ecochain Mobius is LCA software developed for users with little or no LCA experience. But no worries, it can also be used by those who are more experienced in LCAs. Ecochain Mobius is simple to use, allows you to quickly get accurate results, has a broad range of use cases, and suits different industries.
