Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impacts of your products (including packaging) over their entire life cycle, often termed cradle-to-grave. Our service is flexible and can consider a wide range of environmental issues from carbon footprinting to water use impacts, land use, and ecotoxicity. Our bespoke LCA service can also give you the complete set of environmental indicators you need to develop Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for your products.
Life Cycle Assessment provides an organisation with a comprehensive understanding of its environmental impact and allows the organisation to make informed decisions about how it can improve its environmental performance i.e. LCA ensures that a company doesn’t make an improvement in one area at the expense of another.
ife Cycle Assessments can deliver lots of benefits but they are also technically challenging and time-consuming. We have a team of qualified LCA practitioners that have been trained to the highest standard which means we can ease that burden allowing you to concentrate on your core business.
LCA is an internationally standardised methodology – ISO 14044 (and equivalent PAS 2050) and our practitioners follow the principles of this methodology. Our LCA tools and modelling utilise the latest available environmental impact metrics to carry out assessments.
We can carry out streamlined and comprehensive LCA studies for you, all of which can be tailored to suit your specific needs/objectives.
