XYCLE

XYCLE LCA SOFTWARE

LCA software for carbon footprints you can defend

LCA software for carbon footprints you can defend.

XYCLE is LCA software for practitioners, sustainability teams and engineers. Build life cycle assessments and product carbon footprints on primary supply chain data, with results customers and auditors can check.

Build life cycle assessments on primary supply chain data, trace every number back to its source, and share results your customers and auditors can check.

Made by practitioners.

We built XYCLE after doing hundreds of LCAs by hand with our clients. We wanted LCA to be doable by far more people, so impact is quantified by thousands of teams, not just a few specialists. Decarbonisation only scales when identifying impact isn’t locked behind experts.

BETTER DATA, CLEARER DECISIONS

LCA software with ecoinvent data.

Start with the data behind your product.

Use the supplier portal to collect primary data, then search across background databases including ecoinvent and Carbon Minds. Keep geography, time period and source visible in your inventory.

From supplier evidence to a shared model.

Bring suppliers, analysts and reviewers into one workflow. Build an inventory your team can inspect, update and reuse without passing spreadsheets between colleagues. Built for teams working across borders, timezones and disciplines, from one shared source instead of scattered files.

Model together, from one source

Use permissions to control who edits and who reviews. Keep primary and background data in a shared workspace, with enterprise options for SSO, a data lake and a private instance.

Calculate product carbon footprints.

Contribution analysis reveals which materials, processes and suppliers drive your results. Use sector trace to follow a hotspot through the supply chain before choosing what to change. Hotspots are often hidden deep in the supply chain. XYCLE helps you find them quickly, then work with the suppliers behind them to reduce them.

Your XYCLE questions, answered.

Talk with an LCA practitioner about your data, team and first model. We’ll help you choose the right starting point.

What is LCA software?

LCA software helps teams model the environmental impacts of a product across its life cycle. XYCLE connects primary supply chain evidence with background datasets, allowing practitioners, sustainability teams and engineers to build traceable models, inspect assumptions and share results that customers and auditors can check.

What does XYCLE calculate?

XYCLE calculates life cycle assessment results and product carbon footprints from a shared model. Teams can compare scenarios across life cycle impact categories, identify materials, processes and suppliers that drive impacts, and trace results back to inputs and assumptions before preparing outputs for review.

How long is the free trial?

The XYCLE free trial lasts 14 days. The pricing page specifies access to the full interface, sample data and one project. You can sign up yourself, a payment card is required, and you can upgrade at any time. The trial is intended for evaluating XYCLE.

Can several people work on the same model?

Yes. Give colleagues the right level of access, review model changes together and keep a shared source of truth without emailing files.

How does XYCLE support secure deployment?

Discuss permissions, SSO, data lake integration and private-instance requirements with the XYCLE team. Available deployment and support options depend on your plan and configuration.
