Gain data to power environmental claims
Meet the growing demand from wider supply chain and stakeholders for environmental product and packaging data.
Let our Resource Efficiency and Circularity team measure the carbon and environmental impact of your service, product, or packaging. Beyondly’s data driven Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) services support businesses to quantify their impact and gain confidence towards environmental declarations and product development.
What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
An LCA measures carbon and a range of environmental impacts of a service, product, or packaging throughout its life cycle from raw material, production, distribution, use and end-of-life.
Beyondly deliver LCA & PCFs in compliance with ISO1044, 14040 & 14067 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard.
We have helped clients across packaging, consumer goods, food systems and construction products across global supply chains.
What is a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)?
A PCF measures the embodied carbon or greenhouse gas emissions associated with a service, product, or packaging across its life cycle.
LCA and PCF models
Depending on the scope of your project, LCAs and PCFs can be completed to measure different parts of the life cycle:
-
Cradle to Gate – environmental impact associated with extraction of raw materials, distribution, and production. Essentially the environmental impact associated with getting the product to the factory gate ready for transport.
-
Cradle to Grave – refers to the total environmental impact from across the whole life cycle with extraction of materials, product, distribution, product use and finally disposal at end of life.
The benefits of a product footprint
- Enhancing your data can inform strategic business decisions, allowing for the substantiation of green claims, by providing in-depth, comprehensive results to share with your customer.
- Hotspot analysis to support the research & development of products and justify design decision making across the whole product, packaging and service supply chain.
- Strengthen your company's sustainability credentials, improving relationships with stakeholders.
- Supports accurate calculation of wider scope 3 emissions considering the whole value chain.
