Why LCA is right for your business:
-
If your business is serious about sustainability, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the most powerful tools you can use.
-
It gives you a full picture of your product or service's environmental impact, so you can make smarter decisions where it counts.
-
Whether you're responding to customer demand, preparing for tighter regulations, or simply want to do better, an LCA turns good intentions into credible, measurable action.
-
It's not just about understanding your footprint. It's about knowing exactly what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wondering how it all works? You’re in the right place—here are the answers to the questions people ask us most.
What is the process for conducting a LCA?
Conducting a LCA consists of four interrelated stages including:
- Goal &Scope: describing qualitatively the objective of the study and methodologies to be used
- Life Cycle Inventory: the data collection stage
- Life Cycle Impact Assessment: generating the results from the LCI
- Interpretation and Reporting: communicating the results, highlighting the limitations of the study among many other aspects.
These phases are iterative during the lifetime of project, as new information comes to light, methods need to be adapted or additional scenarios need to be modelled.
Why conduct a Life Cycle Assessment?
There are many reasons to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment depending on the objectives of the study. Key reasons to conduct a LCA;
Find environmental hotspots. Understand which parts of your manufacturing and supply chain cause the most environmental impact.
Explore ways to reduce impact. Test different materials, consumables, processes, or designs.
Show your product is sustainable. Share clear, credible information with customers about your products environmental impact.
Improve product design and planning. Use LCA data to make smarter design and business decisions.
Support your sustainability reporting. LCA results can support other standards, for example for environmental labelling like EPDs.
Work with your suppliers. Use LCA to involve your supply chain in identifying and reducing environmental impacts.
Be ready for regulations and funding. LCA helps you respond to funding bids or tenders that ask for environmental impact data.
What is the difference between LCA and EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a published document, highlighting the environmental impact of a product. The EPD document highlights the key elements of a background LCA study, according to a specific set of rules, called Product Category Rules (PCR). EPDs can seem daunting but Positive Planet can advise and support through the entire process, conducting and delivering the background LCA study and EPD document ready for publication following verification.
How can an LCA help reduce environmental impact?
An LCA shows which life cycle stages contribute most to environmental impacts, enabling you to improve areas such as materials, processes, energy use, logistics or supply chains.
Do you offer support after the assessment?
Yes. We can offer guidance on communication of results, training for internal departments such as procurement or sales, or further details on improvement strategies among other areas.
