Life Cycle Assessment turns data on raw materials, energy, transport, manufacturing, use and end of life into a structured understanding of the environmental performance of products and processes. We develop LCA studies with a clear definition of goal and scope, life cycle inventory development and validation, environmental modelling, impact assessment and interpretation of results. The study can range from a cradle-to-gate assessment to the complete product life cycle, depending on its intended purpose and the decisions it needs to support. Beyond quantifying impacts, LCA can reveal significant stages in the value chain, compare scenarios and technological alternatives, and provide a robust technical foundation for product development, environmental strategy, communication and subsequent studies such as Product Carbon Footprints and EPDs. It can also support circular-economy initiatives and the development of sustainability indicators tailored to an organisation's products and activities.
