Life-cycle assessments
Insight into environmental impact from cradle to grave
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a technique for measuring the environmental performance and impact of a material or product throughout its life cycle. Using this technique, our LCA experts determine the environmental impact of your product lifespan in its entirety, known as a cradle-to-grave analysis. This can help you to improve the sustainability of your product.
LCA: STARTING POINT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT
LBP|SIGHT offers LCAs for various product categories, from construction products to consumer goods. When performing an LCA, we always focus on the specific needs of your organisation. An LCA is not an end in itself; it’s a starting point to identify potential environmental gains. This is why our LCAs include more than mere calculations. We also advise you on implementing the results in practice, bridging the gap between theoretical insights and tangible sustainable benefits for your company.
LCA IN CONSTRUCTION
In the Netherlands, it is a legal requirement to calculate the environmental performance of new offices and houses. This includes mapping the environmental performance of materials, the consequences of design choices and the opportunities for circularity. We advise architects, developers, suppliers, manufacturers, users and waste companies to help them make responsible decisions.
