Run LCAs
Attributional LCAs across many parts of value chains, including farming.
Life cycle assessment
Life Cycle Assessment
Preventing and eliminating waste in leather supply chains has been a priority since the first mass balance. We help you measure it properly.
A long history with the numbers.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) published the first mass balance for leather as a material in 1999. Since then, preventing and eliminating waste in leather supply chains has been a priority. The 2006 publication of ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 sharpened that focus on processes.
Authenticae has taught mass balance and helped students and companies use Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) since those early UNIDO assessments. As new materials entered the sector, we added support for businesses working with them.
What we do
From first data to complex modelling.
Aggregate & guide
We help value chains produce aggregated LCAs for entire product chains, and work with multi-stakeholder groups to write LCA guidelines for their products.
Back your claims
Expertise in carbon offsetting, insetting and evidence-based environmental footprint claims.
Critical review
We review other companies' LCAs against ISO 14040/44, ILCD and other data or methodology standards.
Start small
We work with companies just starting to collect LCA data.
Go deep
And with those requiring complex consequential or comparative modelling.
