Professional LCA tools cost tens of thousands per year and require months of training. LCA Canvas is different — embed it into any module from day one.
No installation. No licence. Just a browser and a product to assess.
Pick from a set of real products — a PET bottle, a drone propeller, or enter your own. The assessment is built around your specific product from the start.

Students start by reviewing what the product is actually made of — materials, weights, and emission factors. The LCA is grounded in real data before any methodology decisions are made.
Each block maps to ISO 14040/14044 — goal, boundary, end of life, functional unit, use pattern, and impact categories — explained in plain English before each decision.
Every combination of choices produces a different, coherent result. Students see how boundary and use pattern decisions directly change the environmental hotspot and recommendations.
A material breakdown chart, a life cycle stage comparison, and a 5-year cumulative impact line chart — all generated from the student's own choices.
Recommendations are tailored to the exact scenario — they name the dominant material, reference the hotspot percentage, and explain the reasoning.
Product design, mechanical engineering, environmental science, business, architecture. The canvas works wherever life cycle thinking belongs in the curriculum.
