Learn life cycle assessment with SimaPro 

Want to understand the real environmental footprint of products without getting lost in complexity? SimaPro helps you build a solid foundation in life cycle assessment through hands-on, practical learning.

With SimaPro, you can:

  • Model a full product life cycle from raw materials to end-of-life.
  • Compare alternatives and scenarios to see how various choices affect the environmental impact.
  • Test assumptions to ensure the robustness of your results.
  • Communicate findings clearly in assignments, reports, and presentations.

Universities worldwide use SimaPro to teach life cycle thinking and the LCA methodology. A SimaPro Faculty plan may already be available at your institution – check with your professor to see what’s possible. Learn more about SimaPro Faculty in our Plans overview.
