We build your LCA models
We build your LCA models based on your existing EPDs or LCA models (SimaPro, OpenLCA, etc.) and your internal know-how.
EPD-ready eco-design
Test lower-carbon options for your products with eco-design simulators that follow the same rules as your EPDs.

Eco-design with Grunda
You test hypotheses without any proof that they will translate into reductions in your EPDs.
You test in EPD-like conditions. What you get in our tool is close to what you’ll get in your final EPD.
You configure your LCA models in SimaPro and OpenLCA and tweak them manually.
We’ve configured your LCA models. You can try a new formula, different transportation modes and more in two clicks.
Your Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) are run separately.
Coming soon You can measure the impact on your environmental and financial metrics side by side.
How it works
02
We load them into Grunda
We recreate your models in Grunda and rework their assumptions to make them configurable, so you can run flexible eco-design scenarios.
03
You test your options
In a few clicks, you can tweak your formulations, transportation (distance, load rate, truck type, etc.) and packaging, and measure the impact instantly. With our support, you can also adjust other parameters, such as end of life or plant-level settings.
04
We add what you need
We create the models and scenarios you need and add them to Grunda, so you can test specific hypotheses.
05
We publish your EPD
Once your hypothesis becomes a real-life product, we can trigger the publication of an EPD for it. We support you through verification and publish the EPD with the programme operator once it has been verified.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to keep using my LCA software if I switch to Grunda?
You can if your team prefers. But you can also do everything in Grunda directly.
How much does Grunda cost?
The price mostly depends on the complexity of your manufacturing process and the number of components and materials you use. Feel free to book a call to get a custom quote.
What does EPD-ready eco-design mean?
Our simulator relies on the same LCA engine we use to generate EPDs. So when you’re eco-designing in Grunda, the hypotheses and calculations are very close to your end-result EPD.
