LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)

What is LCA?

LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is a scientific analysis method that measures the environmental impacts of a product in all its processes from raw material to disposal. By evaluating numerous data points such as carbon footprint, energy use, and water consumption, it provides sustainability strategies for companies.

LCA, which stands for Life Cycle Assessment, is a scientific method that systematically analyzes the environmental impacts of a product or service from "cradle to grave."

To put it more clearly: The environmental impacts of the entire process—from the extraction of raw materials, to the production process, transportation, usage, and finally becoming waste and being disposed of—are measured.

In other words, it is much more than just the question of "is it recyclable?" LCA makes the invisible visible.

Why Should You Have an LCA?

Today, sustainability is not just a declaration of intent; it is a responsibility that must be measured. Critical goals such as reducing carbon emissions, ensuring energy efficiency, and optimizing resource use remain merely "good intentions" unless supported by concrete data. This is exactly where LCA comes into play.

Thanks to LCA:

You learn at which stage your product causes the most environmental harm.
You plan how to reduce this harm through alternative materials or processes.
You analyze your corporate carbon footprint in detail.
You create a solid foundation for green marketing and sustainable product certifications.

In summary, LCA reveals invisible environmental costs through numbers. Thus, companies not only become more eco-friendly but also base their strategic decisions on scientific data.

Calculate your carbon footprint scientifically
Ensure compliance with regulations such as CBAM, TSRS, and IFRS-S2
Facilitate access to green finance
Strengthen sustainability reports
Increase consumer and investor confidence

How Does GreeniX LCA Consultancy Work?

Identification & Boundary Setting: Functional units and system boundaries are determined.
Data Collection (LCI): Data is collected from processes such as production, energy, and transportation.
Impact Analysis (LCIA): Environmental impacts are analyzed according to ISO 14040 & 14044 standards.
Interpretation of Results: Critical points are identified, and an improvement plan is presented.

Primary Impacts Analyzed by LCA

LCA studies individually evaluate many different environmental impacts of a product or service. These include many headings such as:

Global Warming Potential (GWP) → Carbon footprint
Acidification Potential → Air pollution and acid rain
Eutrophication Potential → Contamination of water resources
Energy and Water Consumption
Ozone Depletion Potential

All these data are presented by being grouped according to the different stages of the life cycle.

What Did They Say

TÜMOSAN

While structuring our TSRS (Turkey Sustainability Reporting Standards) compliance process in full integration with our production dynamics, we received end-to-end support from Greenix, including infrastructure setup, strategy, training, and reporting. This professional process, which transforms extensive data inventories into an auditable reporting discipline, continues to strengthen in its second year. Greenix has become not just a service provider, but a reliable strategic partner in our sustainability journey.

Sabah Bedding

The EcoVadis process we conducted with Greenix enabled our sustainability performance to transform into a systematic and measurable structure. While our current practices were analyzed clearly, our strengths and areas for improvement were addressed with concrete actions. Thanks to the guiding approach of the Greenix team, we completed the EcoVadis assessment process in a transparent, controlled, and efficient manner.

Platform Turizm

We have successfully structured our TSRS compliance process from end-to-end with Greenix’s professional methodology. This comprehensive support, ranging from strategy formulation, infrastructure setup, and training to emission calculations, enabled us to integrate our sustainability data into our operational decisions. Thanks to their confidence-inspiring expertise, we continue our collaboration into the second reporting year.

Eva Gayrimenkul Değerleme

The corporate carbon footprint study we conducted with Greenix was not just a reporting process; it provided a transformation into a digital infrastructure where we can actively manage our data. While our carbon software made our emissions regular, comparable, and traceable, the reports prepared provided a clear framework for our decision-making processes. Addressing our specific needs in the real estate sector correctly was one of the strongest aspects of the study.

Katmerciler

During our TSRS compliance process, Greenix established a reporting discipline fully aligned with our product diversity and project processes. This expert support, which brought our data into a transparent, consistent, and audit-ready structure, enabled us to manage our sustainability performance with strategic data. We are pleased to sustain this trust-based partnership into our second reporting period.
