Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
for Products, Processes and Services
Life Cycle Assessment - LCA
More and more companies are facing the need to determine the environmental impact of their products. The reasons are plentiful. Whether it’s pressure from key customers or from within their own industry, regulations that must be complied with, or an intrinsic motivation to reduce the ecological footprint of their own products: In any case, it is necessary to obtain a clear and reliable picture of the environmental impact.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are a key scientific instrument for evaluating sustainability. They capture the environmental impacts of products, processes, or even entire companies over their entire life cycle – from raw material extraction to disposal.
Why is CompriseTec the right partner for your life cycle assessment?
LCA & product development from a single source
Our team consists primarily of experienced materials and mechanical engineers. We speak your language and understand the technical details of your products. This enables us to develop targeted measures for the sustainable improvement of your products and, if desired, implement them in our technical center.
Real-world metrics for scientific results
With a technical center covering over 1,000 m² in the heart of Hamburg, we can replicate many processing methods used in plastics and composite materials technology, thereby generating primary data for your LCA.
