Life Cycle Assessments

Together, we make a difference

As climate change, resource scarcity, and regulation intensify worldwide, we rely on transparent data on the environmental impact of every product we produce and use. That is why we provide clear and documented proof of our products’ impact.

Turn data into choices with Life Cycle Assessments

Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) are a method to evaluate the environmental impact of a product at every step of its life cycle – from initial materials to production, packaging, transport, use, and disposal – and to translate this into clear, comparable numbers.

This gives you a fact-based foundation for choosing products based on their impact and helps you respond to growing regulatory, climate, and procurement demands by documenting how products affect the environment across their life cycle.

3 ways LCAs help you make better decisions

Get started with LCAs

To make it easy to get started, we guide you through a simple process:

  • You identify the relevant product categories and use cases.
  • We share Life Cycle Assessment data and explains what the numbers mean.
  • Together, we explore how you can apply the results in purchasing, documentation, and strategy.

Built on recognized standards

Behind every number is a structured calculation based on internationally recognized standards, methods, and tools. Together, these standards and tools help ensure that our Life Cycle Assessments are methodologically robust, transparent, and comparable across products and categories.

Our calculations follow the scientific foundation of the Product Environmental Footprint methods set by the European Commission. Our approach follows the principles and framework described in ISO 14040 and the requirements and guidelines set out in ISO 14044.
