- What is LCA?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a systematic method for evaluating the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life cycle. From raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, and use, to its disposal or recycling, LCA helps companies understand the environmental consequences of their products and processes, identify areas for improvement, and align with sustainability goals. It provides valuable data that can help drive environmental efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and support better decision-making.
At GreenLoop CleanTech, our LCA services provide a deep, data-driven analysis of the environmental performance of your products, processes, and operations. Using industry-leading software tools like Open LCA, we conduct comprehensive assessments to identify and reduce environmental impacts across all stages of your product life cycle. We focus on impact categories such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and resource depletion. By focusing on sustainability, we ensure that every aspect of your operations is optimized to be as eco-friendly as possible.
Our LCA Services Include:
- Open LCA Consulting: Open LCA is an open-source software that allows us to conduct thorough, customized LCA assessments. With our consulting services, we guide you through the process of using this tool, offering insights into how to integrate LCA into your sustainability strategy. Whether you're looking at a single product or an entire supply chain, we tailor our analysis to meet your needs, helping you identify key areas where you can reduce environmental impacts.
- Building Carbon Assessment: The carbon footprint of buildings is a crucial consideration in sustainable construction. Our Building Carbon Assessment service evaluates the carbon emissions associated with the construction, operation, and end-of-life phases of a building. This includes both embodied carbon—the emissions from materials, construction, and transport—and operational carbon—the emissions produced during the building’s use (e.g., energy consumption, heating, and cooling). By understanding these carbon impacts, we help you implement strategies to minimize emissions and design more sustainable buildings.
- Embodied Carbon Assessment: Embodied carbon refers to the total carbon emissions that occur during the production, transportation, and assembly of materials used in a building or product. Our Embodied Carbon Assessment identifies the specific materials and processes that contribute to your product's or building's carbon footprint. By selecting lower-carbon alternatives or optimizing production processes, we help you reduce environmental impacts before construction even begins.
- Operational Carbon Assessment: This service focuses on evaluating the emissions produced during the operational phase of a building, product, or business. We analyze energy use, transportation logistics, and waste management systems to determine their carbon footprint. Through this service, we recommend strategies for improving energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing emissions. The goal is to optimize operational performance while driving down the overall carbon footprint.
