Life Cycle Assessment

Sustainability, resource efficiency and climate protection have become strategic goals in today's corporate policy. For long-term success, companies must take responsibility for the environment and society and document and communicate their commitment transparently. We provide you with the basis for strategic decisions for sustainability-driven action. This allows you to secure investments, reduce risks (e.g., in purchasing), optimize your processes, set yourself apart from competitors and comply with guidelines such as the GHG Protocol, CSRD, and EU taxonomy.

• Preparation of life cycle assessments (LCA) and critical reviews in accordance with ISO 14040/44 for products and services
• Calculation of carbon footprints in accordance with ISO 14067
• Preparation of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14025 and DIN EN 15804.
• Evaluation of plastic emissions in life cycle assessment (LCA)
• Implementation and automation of life cycle assessments in companies using online tools, automated evaluation of product portfolios, or training courses.
•  Support in the development of recyclable and environmentally friendly products (including circular design, e.g., with the CRL®-Tool)
• Social life cycle assessment to evaluate social impacts in the value chain
• Life cycle costing (cost analysis in the value chain)

Life cycle assessment for chemicals, plastics, and recycling technology

The focus is on the chemical, plastics, packaging, bioeconomy, carbon capture and utilization (CCU), recycling technology, and waste and circular economy sectors.

Unlike other providers, our interdisciplinary team draws on the expertise of the technical departments at Fraunhofer UMSICHT – for example, in the fields of bioplastics, (bio-based) chemicals, biofuels, carbon capture and utilization (CCU), recycling technology, and biochar. Our team of experts has over 15 years of experience in the ecological assessment of products and services. In addition, we can supplement our analyses for you with process simulation and experimental investigations.

Do you have a product, service, or process that you would like to evaluate, benchmark, or optimize in terms of its environmental impact for yourself or your customers? We would be happy to provide you with a customized offer! We also offer our services as part of publicly funded projects. Just get in touch with us! Daniel Maga and Markus Hiebel are available to answer any questions you may have.
