How it works

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a valuable tool to evaluate the environmental impact of a product, process, or service throughout its entire lifespan. This scientific and systematic approach allows us to objectively evaluate the current environmental impact and compare this with potential optimisation strategies or alternative products. However, LCA is not a one-size-fits-all type of methodology. To fully capture the improvement potential, avoid undesired negative indirect effects and allow for a thorough evaluation of all kinds of circular strategies, tailored research is key!

In short, LCA results are essential to make informed decisions, identify opportunities to reduce the environmental footprint and make more sustainable choices. But at the same time, every solution can be reviewed on cost efficiency using a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA).

Going one step further

Embedded in active research groups of the University of Antwerp, B.Cylce positions itself at the innovation frontier of LCA research. Even though we acknowledge the relevance of broadly accepted tools like Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as a communication instrument, at the same time we truly believe that more advanced techniques are essential to steer innovation decisions. This allows us to not only see the environmental impact today but also account for the estimated future impact given changes in energy systems, emerging technologies, etc.
