Did you know that ReFlow is becoming one of the leading

life cycle assessment consultancies?

We make decarbonizing and reducing your product's

emissions easy and accessible.

Learn more about what we do, and how we do it.


Stay ahead of the competition by using science-based environmental data

Assess the climate impact of your products

Product Life Cycle Assessments (LCA):

We specialize in product LCAs and our strength lies here. We have two main offerings on a product LCA level:

    Our consultancy consists of Environmental Engineers with extensive experience and specialization within the area of LCA.
Our platform is ISO 14040/44 based, and lets you easily perform LCAs yourself - no engineering experience required!

Hot spot analysis:

We provide high-level assessments focusing on the main contributors to climate gas emissions. This can be used as a starting point for further analysis, or to indicate where early reductions can be made.

Third party assurance:

Our consultancy team of Environmental Engineers perform third party assurance on LCAs as well as EPDs

Comparative assessments:

Make informed decisions by comparing the results of your product LCAs with our consultancy services and platform.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPDs):

We offer Environmental Product Declarations as part of our consultancy services.

Life Cycle Assessment is the method of quantifying the environmental impact of a product or a process in its entire life cycle. The method is defined by the ISO standards 14040 & 14044.

How we work with Life Cycle Assessment data

Data gathering using templates:

Typically, data is gathered using templates. Collecting automated data can be done through source systems. The availability of data, the amount of time available for data collection, the significance of the data point, and the scope of the LCA all influence the level of detail (i.e., "black box" vs. individual process steps).

Data sources:

Bills of materials/recipes, PLM software, power bills, meter readings, procurement records, waste inventories, emissions permit reports, equipment specifications, and measurements taken along production lines are all examples of primary data sources.

Secondary data sources:

LCA databases, technical literature, journal articles, conference presentations, patents, and other sources are examples of secondary data sources.

Completeness and accuracy:

The completeness and accuracy of all obtained data have to be ensured, for example by assessments of mass balance, emission profile, energy intensity, water balance, and similar.

What our customers say

How long does a Life Cycle Assessment take and what does it cost?

An LCA performed by a consultancy usually takes three months – depending on the goal and scope of the project.


Which product(s) do you wish to assess? How many suppliers do you have? How much input is there in your product (materials, energy use, transportation, disposed materials)?

 

These are the main things that affect the length and price of an LCA.

 

The cost depends on the goal and scope of the project, as explained above. With this knowledge, we can estimate the amount of hours and set a deadline for the LCA project.

What does an LCA report look like?

We base our Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) on a scientific approach.

An LCA by ReFlow is based on ISO standards 14040 & 14044, which are internationally accepted standards for how LCAs are made.
Additionally, our impact assessments are based on ReCiPe 2016 v1.1 Hierarchist midpoint methodology.

What is Scope 3 and how does an LCA help to understand it?

According to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol most organizations today look at emissions from value chains as scope 1, 2 & 3.

Very briefly:

  • Scope 1 is your own direct emissions
  • Scope 2 is the energy used to keep the lights on in your offices or used to produce your products
  • Scope 3 is indirect emissions, meaning the emissions that went into producing the materials you use for your products

Most companies today are not accounting for their scope 3. Using an LCA not only helps get a concrete number on your emissions but also gives you an overview of your value chain’s environmental impact.

Performing an LCA gets you ahead of the curve!
