LiveCycle is a Brussels-based life cycle assessment (LCA) platform that turns one-off product footprints into live models for every product in a portfolio, with automated modelling, supplier data collection and LCA and EPD reports ready for certification.

About LiveCycle

LiveCycle was born within BrightWolves, a consulting firm whose sustainability team ran life cycle assessments for clients and kept running into the limits of existing tools. Instead of settling, the team built its own platform, validated it on real client projects and launched it as LiveCycle, based in Brussels. The company is backed by Astanor, an impact investment fund focused on food, agriculture and sustainable consumer systems. Its team of engineers, data specialists and sustainability strategists is led by CEO Arne Bassez, and works with LCA experts from BrightWolves who can run onboarding projects. The platform models products across 20+ impact categories with methods such as the EF method, ReCiPe and TRACI, and serves production companies, retailers and impact investors. Kemin, Beneo, Meatless and NVZ are among its users, and Enterprise customers get a two-day LCA Academy to train their own teams.

What LiveCycle has delivered

KeminFood and feed ingredients

Certified product LCAs, ready to scale across business units

Kemin, an ingredient manufacturer for the food and feed industries, needed certified life cycle assessments for its products and a way to extend them beyond a few studies. LiveCycle supported the realisation and certification of Kemin's product LCAs on its platform, and involved all of Kemin's business units and its European supplier base. This laid the foundations to scale up to dozens of LCAs. LiveCycle also supports Kemin's work with the GFLI (Global Feed LCA Institute) association for the agri-food sector.
