Life cycle assessment with SimaPro
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a well-established method for measuring a product’s environmental impact across its entire life cycle. It supports informed, data-driven decisions and helps demonstrate your commitment to sustainability.
To ensure credible results, reliable and transparent LCA software is essential.
Selecting the right LCA software is not always straightforward. You need tools that help you identify hotspots, explore improvement opportunities, and deliver accurate, transparent results.
SimaPro provides the performance, flexibility, and transparency needed for comprehensive LCA studies.
High-quality LCA studies
Keeping up with evolving data while delivering results on time is a key challenge in LCA. SimaPro helps you stay up to date and perform high-quality studies with confidence:
- Test sensitivity by creating scenarios with different parameters
- Structure and interpret results using calculation setups and analysis groups
- Quantify uncertainty with Monte Carlo analysis
- Access up-to-date databases such as ecoinvent, Agri-footprint, and AGRIBALYSE, with different allocation choices and system models.
- Apply widely used impact assessment methods, including ReCiPe and Environmental Footprint (EF), or single-issue methods (like Aware, IPCC, or USEtox).
- Conduct studies such as product carbon footprint, water footprint, EPD, and PEF.
- Create custom impact assessment methods, including new substances or normalization and weighting sets.
Collaborate and report your results
SimaPro’s multi-user functionality allows teams to collaborate on the same LCA project, combining expertise and improving efficiency.
The Report Maker add-on simplifies reporting by automatically updating tables and graphs in Word and Excel as your model changes, helping you save time and maintain consistency.
In addition to its user-friendly features, SimaPro stands out through its parameter modeling capabilities. Combined with robust databases, this enables both screening and full LCAs with high credibility.
Transparency at its core
SimaPro provides full transparency of data and models, allowing you to trace results and understand underlying assumptions. You can access highly accurate, advanced calculations and detailed information about databases, unit processes, and networks.
This level of transparency, combined with more than 35 years of development, has made SimaPro a trusted LCA solution worldwide. It supports ISO-compliant studies, EPDs, and environmental reporting, and continues to contribute to research and policy development.
