About LiveCycle AI
We’re building the infrastructure that enables manufacturers to scale lifecycle assessment from one product at a time to their entire portfolio
Our Mission
Traditional lifecycle assessment is a consulting service — one product, one analyst, one report. That model cannot scale to meet regulatory timelines or support portfolio-wide sustainability decisions. LiveCycle AI replaces the one-at-a-time approach with AI-powered automation, enabling manufacturers to run LCA and generate EPDs across hundreds or thousands of SKUs without proportional increases in cost or time.
Built by Practitioners for
Manufacturers
LiveCycle AI was founded in 2023 by a team with deep experience in LCA methodology, enterprise software, and manufacturing operations. After years of consulting work that required manually calculating LCA for one product at a time, we recognized the structural bottleneck: manufacturers needed portfolio-scale assessment, but the tools and workflows were designed for single-product studies.
Our Approach
We combine AI-powered automation with rigorous LCA methodology and embedded compliance workflows
Methodology
First
Every calculation follows ISO 14040/14044 and ISO 14025 standards. Our AI accelerates data
processing and documentation — it does not replace LCA expertise or compromise methodological rigor.
Portfolio-Scale Automation
We automate BOM data ingestion, background database matching, facility-level profiling, and EPD document generation — the repetitive tasks that make traditional LCA unscalable.
Embedded
Compliance
Critical review workflows, PCR alignment checks, and EPD program operator integrations are built into the platform — not added as afterthoughts or manual handoffs.
