“I will either find a way, or make one” (Hannibal)

This quote fully describes the beginning of our project : Ma.p.p.in.g LCA Material Processes Plants and Innovation Goals with LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), in putting our expertise, in assessing the environmental impact of materials, processes and plants, at the service of the marine sector.

MappingLCA Working Group is leading the way in writing the rules for environmental impact assessment based on product life cycles. The PCR (Product Category Rules) yachts, small crafts, vessels and parts thereof is being developed by the program operator International EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) system.

This is because “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable” (Lucio Anneo Seneca), with us you will find guidance within the complex issues of environmental sustainability, keeping you away from greenwashing.

Your choice in MappingLCA is in a team of professionals and university researchers, and together with you can develop authentic projects that allow you to measure the sustainability of your products, services or business with a scientific approach.

We are launching the first Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) training course applied to the marine sector. If you are interested, click here.

We believe that our projects describe quality and credibility of our work. Here are our projects that show the path to sustainability in the marine industry:
