This involves capturing all energy- and material flows within your company. When examining production- or manufacturing processes, all environmental KPIs relevant to your company are determined and taken into account.

Selecting appropriate emission factors is another crucial step to ensure high-quality environmental assessment.

This alternative method considers the entire life cycle of your product. However, it is significantly more complex than corporate-level life cycle assessments, as important information from upstream and downstream companies is often missing. As a result, reliable and thoroughly researched literature sources are needed to fill these data gaps. Standardised questionnaires for upstream companies are a good option for collecting solid data.

Statistical analysis is essential for most scientific studies, yet it has played a minor role in life cycle assessments so far. It provides more reliable results and sets your company apart from others. We at RIFCON offer you the option of saving your results, e.g. in a Monte Carlo simulation, which is particularly essential for comparing several products.

We’re independent! Our team is familiar with various software products specifically designed for life cycle assessments. This includes freely available tools such as openLCA and bw!MCFA (only for companies in the state of Baden-Württemberg).

Are you worried about license fees or extensive trainings for specific software? Even Excel or R can be powerful LCA tools if you know how to apply them. Interested? Ask us!
