LCA Quadrant Tool SaaS 

 

Keeping the Big Picture in Focus!

While a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a wealth of detailed data on environmental impacts across a product's life cycle, it can sometimes be challenging to see the forest for the trees. This is where the LCA Quadrant Tool by Enperas comes in.

The Quadrant Tool maintains a comprehensive overview of your products and facilities, allowing you to dive deep into specific areas to identify key hotspots and opportunities for improvement. Its unique approach empowers you to make informed decisions, prioritize actions, and chart a course toward greater sustainability.

Scalable LCA with High-Quality Data

LCA Quadrant Tool of Enperas offers a unique approach to conducting scalable life cycle assessments driven by high-quality background data.

Enperas Tool

LCA Quadrant is not a sandbox tool that requires modeling; all relevant stages are pre-compartmentalized and ready for analysis. To run a calculation, simply select your formulation, production plant, and desired LCA methodology. LCA Quadrant Tool provides multiple methodologies that allow you to navigate from MKI calculations in the Netherlands to FDES calculations for France, from EN 15804+A2 to PEF or the PCF by TfS for chemicals. The required assumptions are pre-programmed and made available with a single click. Enperas values high-quality data, so LCA Quadrant Tool is customized with specific data for your industry. The methodologies and data are updated annually to ensure that the most current information is available and to facilitate the elaboration of  (Environmental Product Declarations) EPDs with third-party verification.

By providing a robust, pre-configured LCA Tool with high-quality data, Quadrant empowers companies to conduct scalable LCAs without getting bogged down in extensive modeling. This streamlined approach enables you to quickly assess your environmental impacts and generate EPDs.

Ecodesign & Benchmarking 

The environmental performance of products can vary significantly due to several factors, including the raw materials used, supply chain dynamics, production methods, application techniques, and end-of-life scenarios.

Life Cycle Stages

With our LCA Quadrant Tool, you can easily modify each life cycle stage and drill down into the results to identify which raw materials or production steps have the most significant impacts. When the product lifecycle scope and LCA model are consistent, Quadrant facilitates straightforward comparisons-whether for a single product or across multiple products.

This capability enables you to make informed and accurately benchmarked choices regarding environmental products, ultimately supporting your ecodesign efforts and enhancing sustainability initiatives.

CSRD reporting

LCA for Reporting-png

LCA Quadrant Tool of Enperas evaluates the impact of 19 standardized environmental impact categories along with 20 additional environmental parameters. To support ecodesign efforts, it calculates a PEF single score that consolidates and normalizes the 19 impact categories into a single metric, quantifying the overall environmental footprint.

Additionally, LCA Quadrant Tool generates a materiality report that assesses the significance of each environmental impact category within the PEF single score. This process creates a science-based Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of sustainability impacts.

The most critical impact categories can then be organized and reported within their respective environmental European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) classes, providing standardized key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for effective reporting.

 

Develop your EPD Roadmap
 Without changing any data 

Develop your EPD Roadmap with Enperas TeamWhen it comes to Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), companies often face a choice between creating individual EPDs for each product or pursuing a more cost-effective approach through product group declarations. While the latter can reduce certification costs and time, the variability allowed within a product group can vary depending on the specific EPD program.

LCA Quadrant Tool of Enperas allows you to easily assess and compare the variability within a product group, enabling the development of a cost-effective and time-saving EPyD roadmap. When certifications are required for different EPD programs, Quadrant can be scaled to accommodate the specific methodology without the need to change or re-enter your primary data.

By leveraging our LCA Quadrant Tool's capabilities, you can confidently pursue product group declarations while maintaining control over variability. This approach optimizes resources and streamlines the EPD certification process, ultimately securing your market access more efficiently.

Empowered Ecodesign 
& CSRD reporting

The hotspot analyses and (Product Environmental Footprint) PEF single score generated by our LCA Quadrant Tool result in simple, smart environmental footprint interpretations. You can easily benchmark environmental performance across multiple products and simulate the footprints of planned innovations. Moreover, the PEF single score determines your material environmental impact for the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This makes our LCA Quadrant Tool well-suited for conducting a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) or verification, and it provides you with reliable and relevant KPIs for your CSRD report!
