Frequently Asked Questions on Umberto
Benefit from our all-round solution for life cycle assessment. We support you step by step in optimizing your environmental performance.
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), is a method to calculate the environmental impact of a product over its entire life cycle. In this context, the term 'product' includes packaging, construction and also services. Taking the entire product life cycle into consideration - from resource extraction to production, use, and disposal – guarantees an integrated evaluation of all inputs and outputs, thus making sure negative environmental impacts aren't shifted to other life cycle phases of the product.
This methodology is defined in the ISO 14040/14044 standard. Each LCA starts with setting the goal and scope of the particular study. In some instances, for example, it is sufficient to limit the system boundaries to the 'cradle-to-gate' approach rather than analyzing the entire product life cycle.
> More on life cycle assessments
ISO 14040/44 outlines four structured steps for conducting a Life Cycle Assessment:
- Goal and Scope Definition: Determine the purpose, boundaries, and focus of the assessment.
- Life Cycle Inventory (LCI): Gather data on resource use and emissions across all stages of the product's life cycle.
- Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA): Evaluate environmental impacts based on the data collected.
- Interpretation: Analyze results, draw conclusions, and communicate findings to stakeholders.
Our tool is uniquely designed to seamlessly align with the structured framework of ISO 14040/44, facilitating efficient execution of each step in the Life Cycle Assessment processes. Take a look at our demo video to see how our software creates an LCA step by step:
The use of suitable data is essential when preparing a life cycle assessment. Primary data is often not available, which is why various LCA & LCI databases (ecoinvent, Carbon Minds and USLCI) are integrated into Umberto.
Different industries face different challenges when it comes to assessing the environmental impact of their products. Take a look at our case studies to see in detail how our customers have overcome these challenges with our software.
