Assess environmental impact clearly, credibly and at the right level of detail.
Life Cycle Assessment, carbon footprints, EPD support, hotspot analysis and environmental data structuring for products, processes and innovation projects.
Good environmental assessment answers the right questions
An LCA is only useful if it is designed to answer a specific question — which product option performs better, where the hotspots are, what claims can be supported, what the EPD declaration needs to include. The scope, system boundary, data quality and interpretation all depend on that question.
Gecko Innovation SL designs and delivers environmental assessments that are technically sound and structured to be useful — for product development decisions, regulatory submissions, EPD programmes, EU project deliverables or procurement requirements.
Environmental assessment services
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
ISO 14040/14044 compliant LCA for products, materials, processes and systems. We handle goal and scope definition, inventory compilation, impact assessment and interpretation — including sensitivity analysis and documentation for critical review.
Applicable for internal decision-making, EPD background data, product comparison, R&D projects and EU-funded innovation programmes.
Typical scope
- Goal and scope definition aligned to use case
- Life cycle inventory (LCI) compilation
- Impact category selection and LCIA modelling
- Hotspot identification across life cycle stages
- Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
- Technical report to ISO standards
LCA study report, LCI dataset, impact profile, hotspot summary, sensitivity analysis, EPD-ready background data.
Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
Cost analysis integrated with environmental assessment, covering acquisition, operation, maintenance and end-of-life costs across the product or system life cycle. Useful for techno-economic analysis in R&D projects and for comparing product or material options.
Typical scope
- Cost boundary and category definition
- Cost inventory across life cycle stages
- Integrated LCA and LCC comparison
- Techno-economic analysis (TEA) in EU project context
- Scenario modelling for cost trade-offs
LCC analysis report, integrated LCA/LCC comparison, TEA summary, scenario cost model.
Product Carbon Footprints
GHG accounting at product level, following relevant methodological standards. Useful for procurement requirements, supply chain transparency, consumer communication and regulatory compliance. We structure the inventory, select appropriate emission factors and document assumptions clearly.
Typical scope
- System boundary and allocation decisions
- Foreground and background data compilation
- Emission factor selection and documentation
- Uncertainty and data quality assessment
- Summary for internal use or external communication
Carbon footprint study, inventory dataset, methodology documentation, communication summary.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Support
Preparation support for EPD programmes across product categories — including background data preparation, PCR alignment, data structuring and coordination with verification bodies. We do not act as verifiers but support the technical preparation process.
Typical scope
- EPD programme and PCR selection guidance
- Background LCA data preparation
- Data structuring for EPD software input
- Methodology documentation and assumption tracking
- Support through verification process
EPD-ready LCA dataset, methodology report, data inventory, assumption documentation, PCR alignment summary.
Hotspot Analysis and Environmental Data Structuring
For teams that need to understand environmental priorities quickly or bring order to existing data before committing to a full LCA. We identify the likely hotspots using available information, structure the data inventory and recommend the appropriate level of analysis.
Typical scope
- Screening LCA or hotspot assessment
- Environmental data inventory review
- Data gap identification and prioritisation
- Recommendations for full assessment scope
- Environmental data quality review
Hotspot summary, data inventory, gap analysis, scoping recommendation, environmental data quality assessment.
Built for teams that need environmental evidence
Environmental assessment support is useful whenever a decision depends on understanding product-level or process-level environmental impact — whether for internal use, external reporting, regulatory compliance or market positioning.
