Life cycle analysis Australia

Get granular understanding of products and services with a life cycle assessment

Life Cycle Analysis shows the impact your product or service has across its whole life, revealing where to cut carbon, waste, and cost – protecting your margins and the planet. A Cool Planet LCA equips you with clear, comparable numbers that drive better design choices, smarter supplier decisions, and credible claims that win customers and capital.

Why life cycle analysis matters now

Buyers expect solid proof that your product is sustainable. LCA pinpoints hotspots so you invest where it counts, reduces operating costs through resource and energy efficiency, and de‑risks supply chains by revealing high‑impact materials and suppliers.

Focusing on our clients’ needs, we offer full-spectrum LCAs in Australia compliant with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. We can introduce social impact elements (S-LCA) and a financial focus for lifecycle costing (LCC).

The real benefits of life cycle assessment

  • See the whole footprint

    Quantify environmental impacts across the entire life cycle of your product or service – materials, manufacturing, logistics, use, and end‑of‑life – to find the few decisions that drive most of your footprint.
  • Design lower‑impact products

    Use hotspot analysis to select better materials, re‑engineer processes, and optimise packaging and logistics, improving cost, durability, and carbon at the same time.
  • Win tenders and customers

    Back your sustainability claims with legitimate numbers. Lifecycle assessment evidence strengthens proposals, supports sustainability claims and ratings, and helps you stand out in a competitive market.
  • Support certifications and disclosures

    Produce LCAs suitable for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and align product footprints with reporting needs from Climate Active product claims to buyer questionnaires.
  • De‑risk supply chains

    See where your upstream impacts come from so you can work with suppliers, swap higher‑impact materials, and make your supply chain more resilient. That way you’re less exposed to carbon costs, compliance headaches, and price swings.
  • Enable circular strategies

    Compare options like repair, reuse, and recycled content to cut waste and emissions and show, with numbers, why circular design is the smarter choice.

Leading LCA consultants in Australia: Our 5‑step life cycle assessment pathway

With the support of our specialist LCA software, we:

1. Discover and scope

Our experienced LCA consultants determine the major focus of your assessment —  a product footprint, a comparison, eco-design, or an EPD  -  and set clear boundaries for what’s in and out. We then list the data you need, the assumptions you’ll use, and who the results are for, so reporting is tailored for your audience.

2. Model and analyse

Next we build your life‑cycle inventory with the best available primary and secondary data and run an impact assessment and hotspot analysis to pinpoint the best areas to improve first.

3. Optimise and compare

We identify the biggest levers for improvement. Then test smarter options — better materials, alternative suppliers, cleaner energy, and end‑of‑life choices — and pick the mix that’s most impactful.

4. Report and assure

When ready, we produce clear, audit‑ready LCA documentation aligned with core international standards and packaged for EPDs, customer disclosures, and procurement packs, so it’s easy to share and gets accepted the first time.

5. Execute and improve

Lastly, we help you turn our findings into real work. We set up projects with clear owners, budgets, and timelines. Then track results, update the model with new data, and keep stakeholders in the loop with regular progress updates.
