Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Life Cycle Assessment offers a clear, data-driven view of a product’s environmental impacts across its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction to end-of-life. It helps identify trade-offs, uncover opportunities for improvement, and build credibility in your sustainability efforts. It’s the essential first step on your sustainability journey.
ISO-Compliant LCAs with LTS
Whether you’re conducting an internal analysis or preparing results for publication or marketing, LTS will guide you to the right type and level of assessment. If your LCA is intended for external audiences or to support environmental claims, we ensure full compliance with ISO 14044 — covering data quality, modeling, interpretation, and reporting.
