GOAL + SCOPE
Start with the right question.
We define what you need to understand and the decision the assessment will support. Together, we agree on system boundaries, scope and the data required.
RESEARCH · LCA · CARBON FOOTPRINT · DATA
Environmental data. Turned into better decisions.
Through life cycle assessment, carbon footprinting and research, we help businesses understand their impacts and make decisions based on data.

Good intentions are a start.
Data gives direction.
Eco-Hub brings together environmental expertise, research and data-based consulting. We turn complex impacts into clear findings that support product development and organisational decisions.
From a question to a model. From a result to an explanation. From an explanation to a decision you can substantiate.
03 / FROM DATA TO DECISION
Complexity
in the model.
Clarity in the decision.
A clear objective. A traceable process.
A result you can put to work.
DATA + MODEL
Connect the whole picture.
We combine your data with suitable sources, model the life cycle, review assumptions and assess environmental impacts.
RESULTS + OPTIONS
Find a clear way forward.
We explain the results and compare scenarios, showing where the significant impacts occur and which changes could reduce them.

LCA and carbon footprints:
what do they tell us?
Read the explanation ＋
what do they tell us?
A carbon footprint focuses on the contribution to climate change. LCA can also cover other environmental impacts, such as resource use, acidification and eutrophication. The right approach depends on the question you need to answer.
DATA / 02
A good calculation starts
with good data.
Read the explanation ＋
with good data.
The usefulness of a result depends on the temporal, geographical and technological relevance of the data. Traceable sources, clear assumptions and an understanding of uncertainty matter. More decimal places do not necessarily mean greater reliability.

clearly presented.
An environmental product declaration presents LCA results under defined rules. It provides a clear way to communicate verified environmental information. Product comparisons require consistent boundaries, functions and applicable rules.
