For products
Every product and service leave an ecological footprint throughout their lifecycle, whether it's due to the provision of raw materials, upstream production, or associated transportation. While this fact cannot be changed, the impacts can be reduced through strategic actions. With an ecological balance, also known as Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) or product balance, the emissions of your products are measured throughout the entire product lifecycle and evaluated using standardized methods. Thus, ecological balances are currently the best tool to quantitatively assess the environmental impacts of a product. Specifically collected data forms the foundation to advance the quantitative sustainability positioning of your products and achieve improvements throughout their lifecycle.
Our Offer
- Creation of a screening LCA for a rough estimation of the primary emission sources following ISO 14044 (not suitable for publication).
- Calculation of the ecological balance according to ISO 14044 with different impact assessments (e.g., CO2 footprint according to ISO 14067, Ecological Scarcity Method (UBP), assessment using ReCiPe-Points, and others).
- Development of comparative ecological balances when multiple products need to be compared.
- Preparation of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) or Product Category Rules (PCR).
- Determination of process balances to assess product emissions based on different manufacturing processes.
Your benefit
- Attractive market positioning of your products and services.
- "First-mover advantages" depending on the industry and product.
- Role modeling, marketing, and image enhancement.
- Cost savings.
- Leveraging synergies between ecological balance and company-wide carbon footprint.
- Gaining insights into the emission sources of your products, thereby creating a foundation for emissions reduction.
