Testimonials

“I have earned four LCA and SimaPro certificates (total ten courses) from LTS (formerly EARTHSHIFT). These trainings have provided me a very strong foundation on both the SimPro software and the LCA methodology. The course materials are outstanding and useful. Additionally, the instructor is remarkable, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The education I received from LTS through taking these classes is enormously valuable as it has undoubtedly prepared me to become a sophisticated LCA practitioner.”

Eric TanSenior Research Engineer–National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

“Our recent Life Cycle Assessment of the Denali jacket has helped our product development teams validate the environmental impact reductions achieved through the use of recycled polyester and a new dyeing process which uses up to 50% less water and chemicals and 25% less energy on average versus traditional dyeing methods. Our product development teams can now utilize the learnings from the LCA and quickly evaluate future design changes.”
