Don't just calculate and report. Explore and innovate.
A Footprinter LCA is not a report. It's a tool for innovation. It's a view of what you might be able and want to do. It's a canvas for green design.
Best available factors. Footprinter is data agnostic. Our clients use a mix of factor sources. The goal is always to use the best available source of data for each internal footprinting calculation.
In your terms. No need to interpret long academic material and process descriptions in data sources like ecoinvent. Or select factors from multiple sources. Footprinter libraries map the material and process names your designers use to all the sustainability data you need.
Utilize your PLM naming conventions. Use the same product and stage gate naming descriptors as your PLM system. Use your product, batch and use/serving/dose sizes. Link to your PLM system if helpful.
An LCA fit and streamlined to you. Flip to different parts of your product life cycle. Inspect the table of top-level metric results for that stage of the life cycle. Color coding indicates better/worse choices.
Detailed data at your fingertips. See and enter data in the linear flow of an expanded row. Data types include numeric fields (with auto converting UOMs), free form text, tags and check boxes.
Be clear when you are done. Or not. Use the top banner chevrons and tab title colors to track the completeness of your project. Teammates with different responsibilities can complete their part.
Work naturally with teammates. Footprinter is multi user with admin-level users and project-level users. Project owners can invite and remove users and change their project permissions.
Leverage product data you already have. Build a portfolio of existing benchmark projects at the beginning of your implementation. Users can also import tab data directly to their projects.
