FAQs
Find any answers to your questions about Sphera’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
LCA or Life Cycle Assessment is governed by the globally accepted ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. LCA takes you beyond carbon emissions and provides you with a big picture of environmental performance throughout a product or process’s entire life cycle.
What is LCA software?
LCA software helps you model a product or process across its life cycle, connect it to environmental datasets and calculate impacts such as carbon footprint, water use and resource depletion. It makes assessments repeatable, transparent and easier to audit than spreadsheets.
What can businesses use LCA for?
Businesses use LCA to identify carbon hotspots, compare materials, suppliers and design options, create Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and product carbon footprints (PCFs), support regulatory and customer reporting and set credible reduction targets.
How do I choose the right LCA solution?
Start with how you will use LCA. Practitioners who build detailed, editable models typically choose LCA for Experts, while teams that need to scale consistent assessments across a large product portfolio benefit from LCA Automation. Both run on Sphera’s Managed LCA Content, and our specialists can help you find the right combination.
