Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Service > Impact mapping across the product and service life cycle

Except offers Life Cycle Assessment for impact comparisons between products or services. LCA is one of the standard tools in an industrial ecologist’s toolbox. At Except, LCA methodology is often used as part of our integrated sustainability assessments. We also offer LCA as a stand-alone service. In addition to standard LCA outputs, Except specializes in visualizing the impact chain, making the complex data of a typical LCA easy to communicate and beautiful to look at. Many of our visualized life cycle inventories are confidential, but you can see a few examples in our map library here (link to system mapping dossier).

Carpet sector roadmap

Mapping the carpet sector towards 2030

We used system mapping and visualization techniques to bring at-a-glance insight to the stakeholder meetings. With this insight we plotted interventions to transition the industry towards a circular and bio-based industry within two decades.

Meat Sector Roadmap

Towards an integrated circular sector

We developed a roadmap of the Dutch meat process sector, production and processing companies and their suppliers, together with DNV. The road map shows opportunities for optimal use of all energy and material flows in the product chain of chicken, pork and beef, and maps their sources. The maps bring insight to all stakeholders involved, and enables decisions on improving entire sections of the production chain at once.

“After attending the SiD training, we used the systems- and network- related concepts and tools to mindmap the relationships of all the different sustainability areas of interest. The exercise greatly helped the Government we were advising to set the right priorities, and make budgeting decisions for their sustainability program.   ”

Director at Urban Reality
