Start with purpose – clarify where LCA will bring the most value:
  • Marketing & sales support – provide credible numbers to back claims
  • Product compliance & tenders – meet regulatory or buyer requirements
  • R&D comparisons – choose materials or processes with lower impact
  • Reporting – support sustainability disclosures and metrics
  • Supply chain optimization – find hotspots and reduce risk
