Services eco-balance and life cycle analysis

We get your products fit for the market in the sustainable economy and advise you on the topics of ecological balance sheets, life cycle analyses and the circular economy.

The sparing use of natural resources is becoming increasingly important – especially in construction. The key issue here is to consider the ecological impact throughout the entire life cycle of a product: in the extraction of resources, transport to the place of manufacture, the actual manufacturing process, the use and ultimately the recycling or disposal of the product.
