Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Poducts
Measure the environmental impact of your products across their full life cycle to support eco design, market transparency and strategic decisions.
Understand the real environmental impact of your products
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impact of a product across its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end of life.
It helps companies identify the main sources of environmental impact, improve product design and respond to growing expectations from clients, regulators and markets.
LCA provides the data needed to support eco design strategies, product transparency and sustainability positioning.
What is a Life Cycle Assessment ?
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most accurate tool for a comprehensive, multi-criteria evaluation of environmental impacts. It analyses each stage of the product system to understand where environmental impacts occur and where improvements are possible.
An LCA typically includes:
Analysis from raw material extraction to end of life
Evaluation of multiple environmental impact indicators
Identification of hotspots across the product life cycle
Comparison of different product or design scenarios
Alignment with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards
LCA provides a scientific basis to guide eco design and product strategy.
Is your company concerned ?
Your company may need a Life Cycle Assessment if:
Clients request environmental product data or transparency
Your products are involved in public tenders or B2B supply chains
Your company wants to develop eco designed products
You want to identify environmental hotspots across product life cycles
Your sector faces growing sustainability regulations
Understanding product impacts allows companies to innovate and stay competitive.
Our Structured Approach
-
Project Framing
Prerequisites:
A carbon footprint covering Scopes 1, 2 and 3 is often a useful starting point to identify the main emission sources linked to products and value chains.Then:
• Definition of the LCA scope and product system
• Identification of key materials, processes and boundariesObjective: Define a clear and relevant scope for the analysis.
-
Product Data Collection
• Identification of raw materials, packaging and production steps
• Collection of activity data and emission factorsObjective: Build the data foundation of the LCA.
-
Impact Calculation and Verification
• Environmental impact modelling using recognised databases
• Data verification and consistency checksObjective: Calculate reliable environmental impact indicators.
-
Eco Design Analysis & Strategic Recommendations
• Identification of environmental hotspots across the life cycle
• Comparison of alternative product scenarios• Interpretation of results and synthesis report
• Definition of improvement and eco design actionsObjective: Identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact and translate results into actionable product strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impact of a product, service or process across its entire life cycle.
It includes all stages from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use and end of life.
LCA helps identify the main environmental hotspots and improvement opportunities. -
Life Cycle Assessments are generally conducted according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards.
These international standards define the methodology for conducting reliable environmental impact assessments. -
An LCA evaluates multiple environmental indicators such as climate change, resource use, water consumption or toxicity impacts.
These indicators help provide a comprehensive view of the environmental footprint of a product. -
Companies perform LCAs to understand the environmental impact of their products and identify opportunities for eco design.
LCAs are also increasingly requested by clients, supply chains and public tenders. -
An LCA typically takes 4 to 10 weeks, depending on product complexity and data availability.
The process includes defining the scope, collecting product data and calculating environmental impacts.
