Life Cycle Assessment services for product-level transparency

Your organisational carbon footprint tells you what your business emits. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tells you what your products cost the planet, from raw material extraction to end of life. That is the data your clients, regulators, and procurement teams are increasingly asking for.

At Green Earth, we provide LCAs, product carbon footprints (PCF), and third-party-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

Giving you the product-level environmental data you need to compete, comply, and communicate with confidence.

Most businesses only measure what happens within their own walls, but that is no longer enough.

Why product-level data matters now

96% of customers want product sustainability data

Yet, only 69% of companies have conducted LCAs on fewer than 25% of their product lines. The gap between expectation and action is wide. And it is closing fast.

Clients are embedding environmental data requirements into procurement decisions. Regulators across the EU are tightening product-level disclosure obligations. B2B buyers are requesting verified impact data at SKU level. If your business cannot accurately measure and prove the environmental footprint of its products, it faces a growing risk of compliance failures, loss of market share, and reputational damage.

What we offer

3 types of product environmental reporting: 1 expert team

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

An ISO-compliant evaluation of a product's environmental impact across its entire life cycle: from raw material extraction through manufacturing, distribution, use, and end-of-life disposal. An LCA gives you the complete, science-based picture that underpins credible sustainability claims, regulatory submissions, and product development decisions.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

A focused assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a specific product or SKU across its life cycle. PCFs are increasingly requested by enterprise buyers, required under sector-specific regulations, and used to support Environmental Product Declarations and eco-labelling programmes.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

A third-party-verified, standardised document that communicates a product's environmental performance in a transparent, comparable format. EPDs are required for materials in many procurement frameworks, and increasingly used across manufacturing and consumer goods to substantiate sustainability claims.

Is this for your business?

You need product-level environmental data if...

You are a manufacturer whose B2B clients are asking for emissions data at product or component level.

You are supplying into construction, infrastructure, or public procurement frameworks that require EPDs.

You need to substantiate eco-labelling claims or respond to green marketing regulations.

You are preparing for EU product environmental footprint requirements or sector-specific regulatory disclosure obligations like CPR, CBAM, and ESPR.

Your Scope 3 reporting obligations require you to provide upstream or downstream product emissions data to customers in your supply chain.

You want to identify where in your product life cycle the biggest reduction opportunities lie.

How we work with you

A clear process from data collection to verified declaration

Scoping

We define the product, system boundary, and functional assessment unit. This determines exactly what is measured and to which standard, so your results are fit for purpose from the start.

Data collection

We work with your team to gather the activity data, supplier information, and process documentation needed to build an accurate life cycle inventory.

Impact assessment

We apply recognised life cycle impact assessment methodologies to quantify environmental impacts, including CO₂ emissions, energy use, water consumption, and other relevant indicators.

Verification and declaration

For EPDs, your assessment undergoes independent, third-party verification. The result is a credible, comparable document you can share with clients, procurement teams, and regulators.

Why choose Green Earth

Product expertise rooted in organisational depth

Most LCA providers stop at the assessment. Green Earth connects product-level environmental data to your broader sustainability strategy—carbon footprint measurement, CSRD reporting, carbon credit compensation, and EPD delivery—from a single expert team.

Our partnership with One Click LCA provides the data infrastructure that makes LCAs faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an LCA and a product carbon footprint?

A product carbon footprint (PCF) focuses specifically on greenhouse gas emissions across a product's life cycle, expressed in CO₂ equivalent. A full LCA covers a broader range of environmental impact categories, including water use, land use, particulate matter, and resource depletion, depending on the scope defined at the start of the project. Which one you need depends on your regulatory requirements, client expectations, and intended use of the results. We help you determine the right scope before committing to a methodology.

What is an EPD and when do I need one?

An Environmental Product Declaration is a standardised, third-party-verified document that communicates a product's environmental performance. EPDs are required for construction materials in many public procurement frameworks across Europe, referenced by green building certification schemes such as BREEAM and LEED, and increasingly requested by large buyers in manufacturing and consumer goods. If your clients are asking for verified environmental performance data or if you are selling into regulated procurement channels, an EPD is likely what you need.

How long does an LCA take?

Timeline depends on the complexity of the product, the availability of supply chain data, and the number of impact categories included. A focused product carbon footprint for a product with a relatively simple supply chain can typically be completed in four to eight weeks. A full cradle-to-grave LCA with EPD verification takes longer. We scope timelines clearly at the start of each engagement.

Can you connect an LCA to your existing carbon footprint data?

Yes. Our CO₂ Expert tool is designed for organisational carbon accounting, and it acts as a central hub for your product-level data. We integrate your verified LCAs into the tool to create custom, product-specific emission factors. This ensures that your corporate Scope 3 reporting and product-level sustainability goals can remain aligned.

Close your supply chain blind spot

Whether you are starting your first product carbon footprint or preparing a full EPD programme, the right data infrastructure makes the difference between a credible result and a compliance risk.
