FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on Umberto


An LCA, as defined in the ISO 14040/14044 standard, is a method to analyze the environmental impact of a product over its entire life cycle. In this context, the term 'product' includes packaging, construction and also services. Taking the entire product life cycle into consideration - from resource extraction to production, use, and  disposal – guarantees an integrated evaluation of all inputs and outputs, thus making sure negative environmental impacts aren't shifted to other life cycle phases of the product.
 

> More on life cycle assessments

 


ISO 14040/44 outlines four structured steps for conducting an LCA:
 

  1. Goal and Scope Definition: Determine the purpose, boundaries, and focus of the assessment.
  2. Life Cycle Inventory (LCI): Gather data on resource use and emissions across all stages of the product's life cycle.
  3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA): Evaluate environmental impacts based on the data collected.
  4. Interpretation: Analyze results, draw conclusions, and communicate findings to stakeholders.


Our tool is uniquely designed to seamlessly align with the structured framework of ISO 14040/44, facilitating efficient execution of each step of the analysis process. Take a look at our demo video to see how our software creates an LCA step by step:

The use of suitable data is essential when preparing a life cycle assessment. Primary data is often not available, which is why various LCA & LCI databases (ecoinvent, Carbon Minds and USLCI) are integrated into Umberto.
