Ecochain

What is Ecochain software and what does it do?

Ecochain is LCA automation software that helps manufacturers measure, manage and communicate the environmental impact of their products at scale. Instead of hiring traditional consultants for one-off LCA studies or struggling with complex legacy software, Ecochain gives you the tools and expert support to build your own LCA foundation. Once that's in place, you can generate verified EPDs, PCFs and LCA reports across your entire product portfolio – in days, not months.

What if we don't have LCA expertise in-house? Can we still use Ecochain?

That's exactly why we combine Ecochain software with expert services. Our team of LCA and EPD specialists helps you set up your data foundation, trains your team and remains available whenever you have questions. You don't need a PhD or LCA expertise to use Ecochain software.

How much does Ecochain cost compared to outsourcing our LCA and EPD needs to traditional consulting firms?

Traditional LCA consulting firms charge €10,000+ per EPD with costs that scale linearly – need 50 EPDs, pay €500,000+. Ecochain flips this model: you pay for software access and expert support to build your LCA foundation once, then generate EPDs at a fraction of the cost – as low as €50 per product at scale across your portfolio.

Can Ecochain software adapt fast when regulations change or we enter new markets?

Yes. Once your LCA foundation is built in Ecochain software, adapting to new regulations or market requirements is straightforward. Need to comply with CPR in Europe, then expand to UK markets with different program operators? Re-calculate your models with updated assumptions and publish to the platforms each market requires – all from the same system. When regulations change, you update your data and regenerate results in days, not months. You're not starting from scratch or waiting on traditional consulting companies to rebuild everything. Ecochain software is designed for flexibility as req

Why should I choose Ecochain?

Ecochain gives you three things traditional consulting or legacy LCA software can't: speed, scale and control. Speed without sacrificing accuracy: Build your LCA foundation once with expert support, then generate verifiable EPDs, PCFs and other environmental profiles in days – not months of waiting on traditional consultants companies. Respond to customer requests and tender deadlines faster than competitors still outsourcing project-by-project. Scale without exploding costs: Traditional consulting charges €10,000+ per EPD. Ecochain's verify-once model drops costs to as low as €50 per EPD at s

Does Ecochain integrate with other systems?

Ecochain software supports CSV, Excel and API imports and exports for product impact data. We're working hard to introduce new enhancements in 2026, like bi-directional integration with ERP, PLM and other operational systems.

What program operators does Ecochain work with?

Ecochain works with all major EPD program operators in Europe. You can publish verified EPDs, PCFs, and environmental profiles via POs like NMD, MRPI, EPD Global, EPD International or IBU.

What does Ecochain's 'Verify once, pay once'? model mean

With Ecochain's verify-once, pay-once model, one third-party verification covers your entire facility or product group, not individual products. Build your LCA foundation for your manufacturing processes once, then generate hundreds or thousands of EPDs within that verified scope. You pay for one verification that covers all products, not separate verification fees for each EPD. This is how costs drop from €10,000+ per product to as low as €50 per EPD at scale.
