Circular Type
Design & Lifecycle
• Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) & Modelling Tools
Ecochain's products Mobius (product footprinting) and Helix (portfolio footprinting) are LCA and lifecycle footprinting tools used to generate PCFs and EPDs [Source: Ecochain product pages].
Primary strategies selected from explicit product capabilities: sustainable product design and hotspot identification support 'Rethink' (R1) and 'Reduce' (R2). Secondary strategies (Reuse R3, Recycle R8) are plausible outcomes informed by LCA results but not explicitly framed as primary on product pages.
