Welcome to the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Calculator that provides a simple way to assess the environmental impact of a product by calculating its energy input and carbon footprint from cradle to grave.
The LCA Calculator is the perfect tool for designers or engineers working in the field of sustainable design, eco design and life cycle assessment (sometimes described as life cycle analysis or eco-balancing).
The LCA Calculator is an easy and powerful software tool for evaluating the effects that a product or service has on the environment over the entire period of its life – from the extraction and processing of raw materials from which it is made - through to the manufacturing, packaging and marketing processes, and the use, re-use and maintenance of the product, and on to its eventual recycling or disposal as waste at the end of its useful life.
We realise that climate change has become a concern of high importance, which has increased the demand for more environmentally friendly products. Product manufacturers are now searching for as much information on carbon footprints, environmental impact and sustainability as possible, and it was for this reason that we developed the LCA Calculator. The LCA calculator was designed to help your organisation gain valuable knowledge about how to avoid creating and developing a product that may have a negative impact on the environment as well as a negative impact on business sales.
