Problem
Many companies struggle to accurately measure and reduce the environmental impact of their products due to the complexity and high costs associated with traditional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods. Existing LCA solutions often require specialized expertise and are not scalable for large product portfolios. This makes it difficult for businesses to meet sustainability reporting requirements, make credible environmental claims, and design more sustainable products.
Solution
Ecochain offers LCA automation software that enables businesses to efficiently measure, understand, and reduce the environmental impact of their products and portfolios. The platform includes two main products: Mobius, designed for companies that want to quickly calculate and share the environmental impact at the product level, and Helix, for companies that need to calculate their footprint at scale across a large product portfolio. Ecochain's software minimizes the complexity of conducting LCAs, automates data collection, and generates verifiable Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This allows businesses to gain insights at company, process, product, and material levels, supporting regulatory compliance, sustainable product design, and supply chain engagement.
Target Audience
Ecochain primarily serves manufacturers across various industries, including apparel & textile, construction materials, consumer goods, food & beverage, and packaging, who need to measure and report on the environmental impact of their products.
