THE CHALLENGE
Does this sound familiar?
Ecodesign requirements, environmental product declarations and tenders ask for environmental impacts across the whole life cycle. The choice seems to be: an expensive LCA project per product, or no reliable statement.
Yet the first overview is missing
Often you first want to know in which stage the biggest levers are. Only then is depth worth it.
THE SOLUTION
First you see where the climate impact occurs
Code Gaia shows the climate impact of your product per life cycle stage. So you know where measures and a deeper LCA pay off.
HOW IT WORKS
How you see the life cycle of your products
-
Model the stages
Freely configure the life cycle stages of your product, from raw material through production and use to end of life.
-
See the climate impact per stage
Code Gaia shows how much CO₂ occurs in which stage. In the dashboard you can also compare individual activities. So you see where measures pay off.
-
Build on existing data
You import bills of materials from your ERP, and duplicate and adapt existing assessments.
-
When you need a full LCA
For an LCA to ISO 14040 and 14044 with several impact categories, or for an environmental product declaration, you need a full LCA. Code Gaia gives you a starting point via the climate impact and shows where you should look deeper.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about lifecycle assessment
What is a lifecycle assessment (LCA)?
A lifecycle assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts of a product across its whole life cycle, from raw material extraction to end of life. It considers several impact categories, such as climate impact, water use or acidification. It is based on the standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
What is the difference between LCA and PCF?
The product carbon footprint considers only one impact category: the climate impact. An LCA considers several environmental impacts. That is why the PCF is often the first step.
Does Code Gaia cover a full LCA?
No. Code Gaia shows the climate impact of your product per life cycle stage and helps you identify hotspots. Code Gaia does not cover a full LCA to ISO 14040 and 14044 with several impact categories.
