Optimise Your Sustainability with

Expert Life Cycle Assessment

Empower your business to reduce environmental impact, protect biodiversity, enhance sustainability, and drive innovation with a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic process used to calculate the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product or service's life. While carbon emissions are often the primary focus of LCAs, our approach at Pilio goes beyond just carbon, providing a comprehensive overview of the broader environmental footprint. By considering a wider range of environmental factors, we offer a more holistic perspective on sustainability, which is essential for organisations looking to make truly impactful environmental decisions. The following are the key benefits of conducting a comprehensive LCA with Pilio:

IDENTIFYING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

LCA provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impacts associated with a product or service across its entire lifecycle.

ENCHANCING SUSTAINABILITY

An LCA can identify opportunities to improve sustainability by identifying key impact areas for action prioritisation in a products lifecycle.

STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING

LCA provides data-driven insights that support long-term strategic planning and decision-making, that aligns with sustainability goals.

QUANTIFYING CARBON EMISSIONS

Measures carbon emissions at each stage of a product’s lifecycle, allowing businesses to pinpoint carbon hotspots and reduce their carbon footprint.

Pilio’s Life Cycle Assessment can help your organisation overcome potential challenges, such as:

DATA AVAILABILITY & QUALITY

Collecting comprehensive data across a product’s lifecycle can be challenging. Pilio can fill any gaps using the latest scientific methods and up-to-date methodologies.

COMPLEXITY

Conducting an LCA involves analysing multiple factors, including material inputs, energy use, emissions, and waste streams.

INTERPRETATION

The results can be complex and technical, making it challenging to translate findings into actionable strategies.

With its expertise in assessing the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle, Pilio can provide solutions for your goals

  • Enables you to update inputs and calculate results

  • LCAs provide a comprehensive assessment of all indirect emissions associated with a product or service, enabling companies to understand the full extent of their Scope 3 emissions. This broader perspective helps in identifying significant impact areas across the entire life cycle.

    • Pilio also audits others’ carbon calculations and software — for example, the Farm Carbon Toolkit calculator and various pre-launch products and services.

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is valuable for organisations that are focused on sustainability, environmental impact reduction, and making informed decisions about their products or services.

Areas within an organisation that can benefit from a LCA include:

  • Essenital for those responsible for integrating sustainability practices within the organisation, ensuring that products or services align with environmental goals, and meeting sustainability certifications or regulations.

  • Paramount for those who oversee product or service development, ensuring that they are designed with minimal environmental impact. LCA can help in decision-making around material sourcing, manufacturing, and end-of-life options.

  • Essential for those focused on developing new products and services, as an LCA can help assess the environmental impact of new solutions before they are brought to market.

  • Ensures that products or services meet regulatory standards and sustainability requirements. LCA helps demonstrate compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

  • Supports those responsible for the production process, identifying opportunities to reduce waste, energy consumption, and material usage. An LCA will inform improvements in these areas.

  • Focuses on ensuring the company maintains a positive environmental and social reputation. LCA provides valuable insights into the sustainability of products or services, enabling transparent reporting to stakeholders.
