Life Cycle Assessment
Introduction
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged as an essential and widely recognized framework to understand and measure the environmental, social and economic attributes of a product, material or process. The framework uniquely identifies impacts in the context of established categories that are indicative, replicable and comparable. LCA tools can be leveraged to support supply chain decision-making, production optimization, compliance reporting, facility and supplier management.
Our Goal
Our mission at CliMatr is to help organizations in achieving their objectives and improve efficiency. We use the Open LCA, and Simapro from PRé. This enables us to be adaptable and responsive to your needs.
The ISO14040/44 set of international guidelines and related product type regulations for Environmental Product Declarations serve as the foundation for all of our work
Our Approach
Our targeted approach to data collection reduces the number of data requests sent to your facility managers and suppliers by up to 70% — without the need to purchase expensive software licenses.
