Why Choose an LCA?
An LCA delivers the most in-depth environmental analysis because it covers the entire life cycle and examines multiple environmental indicators. Unlike carbon-only assessments, an LCA evaluates a broad range of impacts including:
Climate change
Ozone depletion
Eutrophication
Toxicity (human and ecological)
Land use
Water consumption
And more
This holistic approach offers a detailed and credible overview of your product’s total environmental footprint - essential for responsible decision-making and innovation.
Who Benefits from an LCA?
Companies developing new products
Gain insight into your product’s environmental impact early in the design process. Optimize material choices and design decisions to align with sustainability goals.
Manufacturers changing materials or suppliers
Evaluate how material or supplier changes affect your product’s environmental profile - and pursue more sustainable alternatives with confidence.
Organizations working toward sustainability targets
Use LCA data to document environmental efforts, guide strategy, and improve performance across key sustainability indicators.
When Is LCA More Relevant Than a Carbon Footprint?
Comprehensive environmental analysis
If you need to assess multiple environmental categories such as water use, ozone depletion, or toxicity - LCA provides the depth carbon footprints alone cannot.Regulatory requirements
If you're subject to regulations or standards demanding in-depth environmental impact disclosure, an LCA is often essential.Long-term sustainability goals
For companies pursuing deep and lasting sustainability transformations, LCA provides a solid basis for benchmarking and improvement across diverse impact areas.
