Life Cycle Assessments & Product Carbon Footprint
Turning Product Sustainability Data into Robust Decisions and Credible Market Use
Generating and using life cycle assessment (LCA) and product carbon footprint (PCF) data to optimize products and support informed sustainability decisions is becoming increasingly demanding. Companies face rising expectations from clients, tenders, and regulators, while needing product-level environmental information that is methodologically sound, comparable, and fit for product development, compliance, and external reporting.
At DEKRA, we offer a full range of LCA and PCF services – from generating robust, standards-based environmental data to independent critical review and verification. Our services help companies identify environmental hotspots, evaluate improvement options, and ensure that sustainability information is reliable, verifiable, and ready for regulatory, market, and stakeholder use.
