Generalities

Sustainability and life cycle evaluation software, allows evaluating any product from resource extraction to disposal

Can be used for sustainability reporting, product marketing, or product designer

Intuitive and modern interface, with teamwork option, htlm report creation option

Because it is free and open source, there are no maintenance costs and it has very low cost of ownership.

Features

Very detailed information on calculations and analysis

Import and export capabilities

Fast and reliable calculation

Life cycle costing and social assessment

Easy to use, has multiple languages

Continuous improvement

Who uses it?

It is used at several universities, such as Oregon State University, and is also used by several authors who have published scientific articles in research journals. It can be used by commercial users, such as consulting firms and companies from different sectors such as Volkswagen.

Should I pay or not to use it?

It is Free Software, so you can use the program for any purpose, study its operation and modify it to suit your needs, you can distribute copies of the program and improve the program.

From 400 € to 1000 €

It has the widest selection of databases available (any database in EcoSpold or ELCD data format can be imported and used in OpenLCA). But it also offers non-free databases such as IDEA, SOCA and Ecoinvent, on a pay-per-use license basis.

From 1500 € to 3800 €

From 950 € or 1900 €

ADVANTAGES

It is multiplatform, the application works on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It does not require an internet connection.

It is projected to generate the study of "A Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)"

Calculates uncertainty through Monte Carlo simulation tool, it can also generate a Contribution Tree. Calculates life cycle cost.

Evaluates regionalized impacts, because it can handle GSI data. Its studies can comply with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards.

It can perform carbon and water footprint analysis. It runs Python programs, JavaScript and SQL queries.

LCA of the manufacturing process of a Zn/Air battery, evaluating the impact on the environment of the materials used in the manufacture of the battery, the energy consumption during the whole manufacturing process compared to lithium and lead batteries.

Life cycle analysis of biodiesel production comparing environmental impacts from Jatropha oil and used cooking oil, the results generally show that biodiesel production from Jatropha oil shows higher impacts in the categories of climate change damage, human health and ecosystem quality.

The LCA for the production of bioethanol from cassava, sugar cane molasses and rice straw, in this evaluates the cleanest process, using renewable energy and sustainable waste recovery, where the one that gives the best results is the one made from cassava.
