What is an LCA?

To assess the impacts associated with products and services, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method was developed to help businesses and stakeholders prioritize their enivronmental impact.

Why do an LCA?

  • Identifying opportunities to improve environmental performance.
    Informing decision-makers for strategic planning, risk mitigation, and product design.
  • Detecting and selecting environmental performance focus points.
  • Enhancing B2B and B2C marketing efforts, including ecolabeling and EPD production.
  • Assessing and quantifying Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions from the entire value chain) greenhouse gas emissions.

Benefits of LCA

Integrating LCA to assess and quantify Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions provides a holistic approach to carbon footprint analysis, offering several key benefits:

  • Comprehensive Environmental Insights:
    • Gain a detailed understanding of environmental impacts throughout the product life cycle.
  • Risk Mitigation:
    • Identify and mitigate potential environmental risks associated with products and services.
  • Cost Savings:
    • Discover opportunities to reduce costs through resource efficiency and waste reduction.
  • Market Advantage:
    • Showcase a commitment to sustainability, gaining a competitive edge in the market.
  • Ecodesign Integration: Incorporating ecodesign principles to optimize product design for environmental sustainability throughout its life cycle offers additional benefits:
    • Reduced Environmental Impact:
      • Minimize the environmental footprint of products by considering sustainability from the design phase.
    • Enhanced Product Durability:
      • Design products for longevity and recyclability, contributing to circular economy principles.
  • Connection to Grants, Tenders, etc.: Leveraging LCA and ecodesign principles can position your organization favorably in obtaining grants and tenders, as sustainability is increasingly becoming a criterion for eligibility.
