LIFE Cycle Assessment Center

The method

Our experience in life cycle analysis (LCA) dating back to the 1990s, LCA databases and calculation tools provide the basis of our LIFE Cycle Assessment Centre. We work with a set of established as well as newly developed methods for assessing the environmental impact of products and services, from the extraction of raw materials to production, distribution, use and end-of-life. Supported by national and international research projects, the centre is continuously being developed and expanded. Clients from a wide range of sectors and industries, such as the global raw materials industry, steel industry, energy industry, logistics, food production, construction industry as well as commercial enterprises or municipalities and regions, value our scientific facility and expertise.
