Life Cycle Analysis

The LCA is a multi-criteria and multi-stage methodology that evaluates all the potential environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle. This includes the extraction of raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, consumer use, and finally, disposal or recycling.

LCA Administration configuration

The LCA is linked to lists available in the administration:

• Life cycle analysis characteristic
• LCA units value list
• LCA measurement methods value list

The lists can be populated by beCPG via import files, or added to manually.

Modifying entity templates

It is necessary to add the list of all the entities that will carry the LCA information (MP, PF, SF, Packaging, Resources...). Click here for more information.

Utilisation de l'ACV

For raw materials, packaging and resources, complete the LCA list. LCA data can be imported directly from ADEME's Agribalyse database. In just a few clicks, you'll have detailed, accurate information on the environmental impact of raw materials.

The software automatically calculates the life cycle analysis of products using data related to raw materials, recipes, packaging, and manufacturing processes. Furthermore, users have the option to define the characteristics to calculate, such as the impact on climate change equivalent to CO2, and to integrate custom calculation rules to meet the specific needs of their company.

Calculation of the environmental footprint of products

From the LCA data provided, it is possible to automatically calculate the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). This is a standardized method of the European Union that offers an overview of the environmental footprint of products. This advanced functionality allows companies to measure and compare their products according to a set of environmental criteria, thereby aligning their practices with European standards.
