Packaging Impact & Cost Intelligence

Integrated LCA & LCC Platform

An integrated LCA + LCC (Life Cycle Costing) layer enables cross-functional collaboration and faster, data-driven decisions. Packaging, Procurement and R&D can finally co-design for lower cost, compliance, and verified sustainability outcomes.

info Context

The Challenge Landscape

Across sectors, teams face a common challenge: packaging sustainability and cost decisions remain siloed. Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) can be found in expert-only spreadsheets, while material, logistics and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) data are scattered. The result: slow iteration, unclear trade-offs, and limited confidence in claims.

External Challenges

Regulation shifts from guidance to obligation. Deadlines compress; consistent, traceable data becomes baseline - not optional. Accelerating redesign mandates expose gaps when tooling remains manual and siloed.

Internal Challenges

Regulatory momentum accelerates recyclability mandates and EPR fee complexity while tightening content thresholds. R&D, Packaging, Procurement, Finance and Marketing - not just sustainability teams - now require self‑service, auditable impact + cost signals for co‑design. Legacy expert‑led modeling and fragmented data flows block portfolio‑scale operationalization. Without a standardized analytical layer unifying environmental and economic indicators, LCA remains reactive reporting instead of proactive optimization.

lightbulb Solution

Integrated LCA + Cost Platform

Traditional LCA operates at the product level - each SKU analyzed in isolation by experts. This approach cannot scale to portfolios with hundreds or thousands of variants.

The solution: (1) decompose products into reusable material building blocks, (2) assign verified LCA data once per material, then (3) compose any product configuration instantly.

LCA Portfolio Process: Decompose, Assign, Compose, Identify Hotspots

Scenario-Driven Decision Platform

With built-in what-if analysis, users can rapidly build alternative scenarios: swap materials, modify configurations, and test design choices to instantly see their impact on costs and emissions. This transforms the system from a compliance-only LCA tool into a strategic decision-making platform, enabling teams to optimize materials, reduce footprint, and improve cost efficiency long before committing to spend.

A single governed model links environmental indicators and cost drivers. Teams view footprint and money side‑by‑side, test changes early and concentrate effort where effect is largest - optimizing before spend.

Phased Implementation

Phased rollout: prove value small, map data, design core, build engine, train users, then refine. Each step reduces risk and adds usable output.

The implementation process is tailored to your organization's maturity level, selecting only the phases you need, but progressing through each step reduces risk and delivers tangible, usable outputs at every stage.
