Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)

At PRIMALCHIT we carry out an analysis to quantify the environmental impacts associated with a product or service, using the methodology for calculating the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) based on the UNE-EN-ISO 14040 and UNE-EN-ISO 14044 standards, these being the standards used on an international scale to quantify and manage environmental impacts.

We carry out the calculation from all the approaches of the life cycle of the product or service, this allows us to identify those processes whose contribution to the environmental impact is significant within the life cycle, which is crucial to optimize its design from a responsible point of view with the environment.

We have a qualified, multidisciplinary technical team in carrying out the LCA. In addition, we have a software licence, specifically for LCA, called SIMAPRO from EcoInvent and access to commercial databases, providing both activity data and impact factors. In this case we use EcoInvent (one of the most widely used internationally) and we rely on public databases (European reference Life-Cycle Database) and specific geographic databases (IDAE, AGRAMA/MITECO, etc.).
