Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)
Services
Helping businesses unlock actionable insights into product carbon footprints, optimize supply chains, and accelerate progress toward sustainability and compliance goals.
RESET Carbon’s Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) services are designed to help organizations systematically evaluate the environmental impact of their products and processes across the entire value chain. Whether your goal is to meet regulatory requirements, improve product design, or align with corporate sustainability targets, our LCA solutions provide the technical rigor and strategic clarity needed to support informed decision-making.
Our LCA Services
By quantifying the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and analyzing a wide range of environmental impact categories, RESET Carbon enables clients to identify emissions hotspots, benchmark performance, and prioritize reduction opportunities. Our team works closely with businesses to build tailored LCA methodologies, validate data, and deliver insights that support procurement, innovation, and supply chain strategy across diverse sectors and geographies.
COMPREHENSIVE LCA APPROACH
Our LCA services are built on internationally recognized standards and tailored to your business needs, ensuring robust and credible results:
- Assessments conducted according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards
- Flexible scope: cradle-to-gate, gate-to-gate, or cradle-to-grave, tailored to client needs
- Use of leading LCA databases (Ecoinvent, Higg MSI) and software (OpenLCA) for robust modeling
STRUCTURED CLIENT JOURNEY
We guide clients through every step of the LCA process, from initial scoping to actionable recommendations:
- Project kick-off to define products, system boundaries, and impact categories
- Development of RFI and data collection templates
- Primary data collection, quality review, and optional onsite visits for process validation
- Impact calculation using primary and secondary data
- Analysis and recommendations presented in summary reports and closing meetings
METHODOLOGY & TECHNICAL VALIDATION
Our team ensures your LCA methodology is fit for purpose, validated, and aligned with regulatory and market requirements:
- Mapping out LCA methodology for regulated and non-regulated markets
- Data feasibility studies and gap estimation approaches
- Verification feasibility and methodology review (ISO 14040/14044)
- Collaboration with partners (EcoEngineers, LRQA) for enhanced credibility
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS & BENCHMARK
We help you benchmark products and suppliers, identify emissions hotspots, and model scenarios for improvement:
- Product and supplier comparisons to identify emissions hotspots and reduction opportunities
- Scenario modeling (e.g., recycled vs. virgin materials)
- Benchmark analysis against conventional products
STRATEGIC DECISION SUPPORT
Our insights support your business strategy, compliance, and innovation goals:
- Insights for investment feasibility, green finance, supply chain optimization, product innovation, and market strategy
- Support for sustainability reporting, regulatory compliance, and brand positioning
IMPACT CATEGORIES ANALYSIS
We provide a comprehensive analysis across all relevant environmental impact categories:
- Climate change (GWP), ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, resource depletion, water use, photochemical ozone formation, ecotoxicity, human toxicity, land use
OPTIONAL ONSITE ASSESSMENT
Onsite visits provide deeper process understanding and data accuracy for your LCA:
- In-depth review of manufacturing process flows
- Identification of accurate data collection points and reduction opportunities
- Integration with onsite carbon assessment and science-based target (SBT) development programs
TRAINING & CAPACITY BUILDING
We offer tailored training to build your team’s LCA capabilities and support supplier engagement:
- Training for corporates, brands, manufacturers, and suppliers based on review and validation results

Case Studies
Leading Beverage Manufacturer
RESET Carbon reviewed the LCA methodology for a major beverage bottler’s manufacturing process, conducted onsite investigations to identify data collection points, and developed an energy and water balance modeling framework. The engagement resulted in a tailored metering strategy and recommendations for future carbon footprint reduction.
Vegatex
For Vegatex, RESET Carbon developed and implemented a lifecycle assessment for plant-based leather products, collecting primary data and modeling impacts using OpenLCA. The analysis identified hotspots and improvement opportunities, benchmarking the products against conventional synthetic leather.
Nike
RESET Carbon partnered with Nike’s NXT Apparel team to quantify the carbon footprint of innovative products and processes. The team developed supplier data collection templates, engaged factories for process understanding, and delivered comparative analyses to support sustainable product innovation.
