In this article, you’ll be guided through a brief overview of the platform, highlighting the main steps and features of the LCA process.

When login into your account, make sure to follow those first steps:

1 - Select the right account and profile year

2 - Choose the product “LCA” section to access a step-by-step list of tasks that will help you complete your analysis smoothly.

Selecting the "Perform an LCA" task allows you to access all the individual steps of the Life Cycle Assessment. These steps are broken down and explained in detail below.

The overview page contains helpful resources like article and FAQs to support you through the process.

From here, you can upload data, create products, import your catalogue, and manage your product inventory.

To create a single product, you have different choices.

First, select a methodology from the available options (Simplified LCA, Event, Service, ISO 14040/44, ISO 14067, or EPD). Next, proceed to Step 2: General Information. Under the Product Overview section, fill in the product name and select an appropriate product tag to ensure your product is easily searchable.

Provide the product's internal ID for easier tracking and traceability.

Complete the questions to ensure maximum precision during the LCA configuration.

b. Create from an existing LCA

Select “Start from an existing product” then choose the product you’d like from the dropdown list. From there, you can adjust the information as needed to make it fit your setup.

c. Create from a Greenly template

Select the Greenly templates that fit the most with your product, then adjust the information as needed.

Among those templates, you’ll find advanced ones like the “Event calculator” which are common use case. For more details, read this article.

Upload a filled template with product info (materials, usage, etc.). Each product will be created automatically, ready for review.

View, update or validate all materials and EF selections across your products, your central source of truth for footprint accuracy.

This view is identical to the one found in the Inventory section.

The Inventory view is the structured list of all inputs and outputs that make up your life cycle model. It’s where you see, validate, and edit the data behind your results.

The “Emission factors” tab is where you manage the datasets that translate your inventory into impacts. It’s your library of sources, versions, and custom factors used across studies.

The “Impacts” view showcase your LCA results. This view is organized into four tabs: Footprint, Multi-criteria analysis, Comparison, and Granular audit.

See the overall impact for the selected product.

Evaluate impacts across multiple indicators to understand trade‑offs, not just a single metric. Rank scenarios by indicator, surface hotspots that change across criteria, and export a comparison table.

Compare your baseline with alternative scenarios or different versions. This view showcase side‑by‑side or delta views with percent and absolute changes, plus waterfall charts by products.

This view enables you to ensure audit-ready traceability of your results.

Use the different filter like product name, tag, emission factor and more for review.
