Assessment (LCA)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific method used to measure the environmental footprint of a product or service. The assessment provides more than 15 environmental impact indicators, including greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water use, waste generation, and many others.

What Does Ecocentric’s LCA Service Cover?
Data collection can be a complex process, which is why our team takes care of:
Identifying the person or department responsible for the required measurements
Determining what data is needed and where it should be collected
Organizing the entire process to minimize disruption to the business
Advising on the most appropriate LCA model and methodology to apply
Recommending solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of the product’s production process
Data Collection
Before the assessment can begin, complete data about your product is required, including:
Use and emissions
Energy and water consumption
Transportation
Materials and raw materials
For this reason, the first step in the LCA process is Data Collection.
Quality Assurance
Compliance with ISO 14040/14044
External Verification (Critical Review)
Dynamic Scenario Modelling
Main LCA Models
Choose the scope of analysis that best fits your business needs.
Cradle-to-Gate
Assesses the product lifecycle from raw material extraction through production and up to the point it leaves the factory, before reaching the final consumer.
RAW MATERIALS
PRODUCTION
Cradle-to-Grave
Covers the entire life cycle of the product (stages 1–5). It provides a complete view of the environmental footprint from beginning to end.
FULL LIFE CYCLE VISIBILITY
Cradle-to-Cradle
Similar to Cradle-to-Grave, but the waste stage is replaced by recycling or upcycling, allowing the product or its materials to be used again.
The choice of LCA model determines both the results of the assessment and how they should be communicated. Transparent disclosure of the selected model to stakeholders is therefore essential. With Ecocentric, the LCA process is managed in a structured and efficient way, ensuring reliable and scientifically sound results.
