Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Measure the true environmental impact of your products and activities
WeLOOP réalise vos Analyses du Cycle de Vie (ACV) afin d’évaluer avec précision les impacts environnementaux de vos produits, services ou activités. Grâce à une méthodologie rigoureuse conforme aux normes en vigueur, nos experts identifient les principaux leviers d’amélioration et vous accompagnent dans la mise en œuvre d’actions concrètes pour réduire votre empreinte environnementale.
What is an Environmental Life Cycle Assessment ?
L’ACV environnementale est la méthode de référence pour évaluer les impacts d’un produit, d’un service ou d’un procédé sur l’ensemble de son cycle de vie : de l’extraction des matières premières jusqu’à sa fin de vie.
In the context of the ecological transition, accurately measuring environmental impacts is the first step towards implementing an effective improvement strategy.
Our Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Support
The value of an Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) depends less on the tool used than on the rigor of the initial scoping, the quality of the data collected, and the relevance of its interpretation. WeLOOP supports every stage of the process to ensure the robustness and practical usability of the results.
Our role is to handle the methodological complexity on your behalf while involving you in the key decisions that shape the study, ensuring that your teams fully understand and take ownership of its conclusions.
Rigorous Scoping
Precise definition of the functional unit, system boundaries, and assumptions to ensure results that are aligned with your objectives.
Data collection and modelling
Comprehensive management of primary and secondary data collection and their integration into recognised reference databases.
Structured Deliverables
ISO-compliant full report, executive summary, and results presentation session, designed to support your decision-making and stakeholder communication.
Expertise Across 4 Levels of Analysis
WeLOOP draws on extensive expertise in current standards and frameworks, combined with continuous monitoring of regulatory and methodological developments, to ensure the long-term relevance of the studies we conduct.
PRODUCT SCALE
Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
From raw material selection through to end of life, each stage of a product or service’s life cycle is analysed to quantify environmental impacts in a rigorous and traceable manner.
ORGANISATIONAL SCALE
Organisational Life Cycle Assessment
Sites, operations, upstream and downstream value chain: this approach provides a systemic and consolidated view of an organisation’s overall environmental footprint.
TERRITORIAL SCALE
Territorial Life Cycle Assessment
Designed for local authorities and public-sector stakeholders, this scale integrates economic flows, human activities, and natural resources within a territory: municipality, inter-municipal structure, or region.
PROSPECTIVE SCALE
Prospective LCA
When decisions concern emerging technologies or future scenarios, this approach incorporates the expected evolution of energy mixes, industrial processes, and regulatory contexts.
How does an Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) work at WeLOOP?
Definition of objectives and scope
– Define the product, service, or project under study.
– Define the environmental impacts to be measured (CO2 emissions, energy and water consumption, raw material use, pollution, and biodiversity, etc.).
Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)
– Collect data for each stage of the life cycle while quantifying input and output flows
– Define the environmental impacts to be measured (CO2 emissions, energy and water consumption, raw material use, pollution, and biodiversity).
Environmental Impact Assessment
Analysis of collected data to measure environmental impacts
identification of critical issues and the most impactful stages using standardised indicators to facilitate comparison and communication of results.
Interpretation and Recommendations
Summarise results to guide decision-making and propose concrete actions to reduce impacts.
Implement indicator monitoring and ensure transparent communication of results to stakeholders.

Focus on selected projects
The BATTERS Phase 1 project aimed to build a roadmap to guide the decisions of the Hauts-de-France region in managing the newly formed Battery Valley in a new regulatory context with the new battery regulations. An environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of the annual battery activity and the availability of critical materials at the scale of Hauts-de-France in a future stable market (2070) was carried out, along with interviews with industrial and institutional stakeholders.
The project began a second phase in 2025 with the launch of the BATTERS Phase 2 project, which aims to facilitate collaboration among regional stakeholders in environmental initiatives by developing a collaborative platform on environmental life cycle assessment (LCA), criticality, and eco-design at the product level across the entire battery value chain, from active materials to recycling.
To concretely assess the environmental benefits of reuse, WeLOOP supported Le Fourgon in the carrying out of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) comparing several reusable packaging options and single-use solutions.
The study aimed to determine after how many uses a reused bottle becomes more environmentally advantageous than a disposable bottle.
The results of this LCA have been reviewed by an independent panel of experts to ensure their robustness and enable transparent communication with the general public.
WeLOOP supported the company Colruyt Group in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach aimed at evaluating the environmental impacts of various R&D projects related to agri-food production, from the initial stages through to industrial-scale development.
The objective of this approach was to integrate eco-design principles from the earliest stages of projects in order to assess their relevance from an environmental perspective and to optimize their impacts as much as possible throughout development.
