LCA as a Service (LCAaaS)
Introduction to LCA as a Service
At Riskoa, we understand that conducting a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can be resource-intensive, especially for companies that do not have dedicated internal resources. That's why we offer LCA as a Service (LCAaaS)—an affordable, fast, and reliable solution to meet your sustainability assessment needs. Leveraged by the power of Emvide, our LCAaaS allows you to obtain high-quality LCA results without the overhead of managing the process yourself.
Purpose and Scope
LCAaaS is designed for companies that need quick, accurate, and cost-effective LCA results. Whether you are looking to assess a single product or an entire product portfolio, our service provides a streamlined approach that delivers results significantly faster and at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional methods. This service is ideal for businesses seeking to meet regulatory requirements, enhance their sustainability credentials, or gain insights into the environmental impact of their products.
How LCAaaS Works
LCAaaS operates by combining the power of Emvide’s advanced LCA tools with the expertise of Riskoa or our certified carbon partners. We handle the entire process from data input to final reporting, ensuring that your LCA is completed with precision and efficiency. Each analysis is priced based on the number of nodes used in the LCA model, with a charge of 3 minutes per node for processing and verification. The total cost is a combination of credit usage and managed support time.
Pricing Structure for LCAaaS
LCAaaS is priced competitively to provide an accessible option for companies of all sizes. The total cost of an LCAaaS project includes:
Node Usage: Each node in the LCA model consumes credits, which are charged according to our standard pricing tiers.
Managed Support Time: This includes the time spent by our experts in running and checking the LCA model, billed at our standard support service rates.
Example Calculation: For a typical analysis requiring 100 nodes, the cost would include 100 credits plus 5 hours of managed support time.
