Life Cycle Assessment in Production Technology

Customers and investors attribute increasing importance to ecological sustainability of products. By presenting your Life Cycle Assessment in a transparent manner, you can communicate your company's sustainability focus to stakeholders.

Together with you, we will prepare a detailed Life Cycle Assessment of your production. This Life Cycle Assessment enables you to examine your production for ecological deficits and to carry out an optimization according to ecological criteria, taking into account economic boundary conditions.

We define the goal and the scope of the Life Cycle Assessment. In a Life Cycle Inventory study, we record the energy and material flows in your company. For this purpose, we profit of our experience and use the latest measuring technology. Based on the Life Cycle Inventory study, we calculate the environmental impact of your production. We use methods established in science in accordance with the recommendations of the United Nations and the European Union to carry out the Life Cycle Impact Assessment. Finally, we use statistical methods to identify the primary causes of environmental impacts in your production. Subsequently, we accompany the optimization process and support you in the planning and design of process chains with a superior Life Cycle Assessment.

Steps of operation

Goal and Scope

Together with you we define the goal of the Life Cycle Assessment. We then define the system boundaries and the scope of the assessment.

Life Cycle Inventory

Within the system boundaries, we measure the energy and material flows in your production. The results form the basis for the calculation of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment.

Life Cycle Impact Assessment

We calculate the environmental impact of your production using scientific evaluation methods according to the current state of the art. For this, we refer to guidelines by the recommendations of the European Union and the United Nations.

Life Cycle Interpretation

We use statistical methods to identify the causes of environmental impacts in your production. Subsequently, we identify and evaluate approaches to reduce these environmental impacts.

Optimization

In a systematic technology and material screening, we identify technologically feasible and ecologically superior alternatives for your production. After systematically narrowing down the alternatives, we derive recommendations for action.
