Life Cycle Analysis

Why focus solely on carbon reduction when you can tackle all issues at once ? e.g. Climate change, resources, biodiversity

What is Life Cycle Analysis ?

LCA is a standardize method ISO 14040/14044 that :

Map all stages of a product or service life.
Extraction, production, transportation, use, end of life.
Quantifies all impacts.
Emissions, resources, biodiversity, social & costs.
Serves as a basis of risk management and business continuity.

Once you master LCA, you master your supply-chain.

Challenges and issues for 2025-2027

Every product is different,
Every manufacturing batch is unique. And yet,
We can perform LCA's as long as we can overcome:

Resources strain
Collecting data
Comparability
Compliance
Resources strain

Depending of the part,
5 to 90 days are needed for one LCA.
Procurement profesionnals are not trained for LCA.

Collecting data

Without a collaborative portal. Collection remain error-prone and laborious.

Comparability

Have you tried to compare apples and oranges ?
With LCA methodology, you can.

Compliance

With ISO 14040 / 14044 methodology.
You can trust the process.
And the result.

Our approach at  

  1. 1. Model
  • Leverage existing data in your PLM/ERP to streamline the start of LCAs.
  • Map your supply-chain to build your Life Cycle Inventories.
  • 2. Quantify
  • Collect internal data (R&D, methods, processes) and external data (suppliers) via a secure collaborative portal.
  • Focus suppliers on the primary data that matters most through an intuitive interface.
  • 3. Check for inconstitensies
  • Gather evidence (certificates, reports, technical datasheets) directly from suppliers.
  • Our automated algorithms verify the coherence and robustness of collected data, alerting in case of discrepancies or duplicates.
  • 4. Reduce
  • Identify hotspots using our dynamic dashboards: critical environmental and social points.
  • Collaborate with your suppliers to develop reduction plans aligned with your strategic objectives, incorporating cost considerations.
  • 5. Leverage
  • Manage your LCA reports to meet your customers’ and certification labels’ requirements.
  • Reuse LCA results to improve the accuracy of your carbon accounting and Scope 3 reduction plan.

Why  

  1. Accessibility
  • User-friendly platform that makes it easy to track data collection,action plans, and document exchanges.
  • No need to be an expert: our interface guides you step by step through the entire LCA process.
  • Collaboration
  • Collect primary data directly from your suppliers via free access to our portal.
  • Share LCA results: become your suppliers’ preferred customer and your customers’ preferred supplier.
  • Performance
  • Our algorithms optimize stage modeling and emission factor selection, drastically reducing completion time (from several weeks to a few days).
  • Implement a continuous improvement approach: reuse all or part of previous LCAs to gain efficiency and reliability with each new analysis.
  • Compliance
  • LCA based on ISO 14040 & 14044 standardized methodologies at the European level.
  • Data history to guarantee traceability and auditability of analyses.
  • Cybersecurity
  • Secure, end to end encrypted web portal that protects your sensitive data and that of your suppliers.
