What is the difference between LCA and PCF?
LCA covers multiple environmental impact categories (climate change, water use, land use, etc.) across a product's full life cycle. PCF is a focused LCA that covers only greenhouse gas emissions (kg COโe) per unit product.
Who needs an LCA or PCF study?
Exporters to Europe (CBAM), textile & apparel suppliers to global brands, companies reporting to CDP/SBTi, and manufacturers wanting to make environmental claims on their products.
What data do we need to provide?
Primary data on your production process โ material inputs, energy consumption, water use, waste generated, and transport distances. We guide you with a detailed data collection template.
How long does an LCA study take?
A cradle-to-gate PCF study typically takes 4โ6 weeks. A full cradle-to-grave LCA takes 8โ12 weeks depending on scope and data availability.
Is your LCA work internationally recognized?
Yes. Our studies follow ISO 14040/44 and ISO 14067 international standards, making them acceptable to European buyers, CDP, SBTi, and EPD program operators.
