Industry Challenges

Customer, architects and retailers expect product-level environmental data for furniture products.

Configured products, endless combinations

Cabinet sizes, fronts, finishes, worktops and fittings multiply into thousands of configurations. One representative EPD rarely reflects what a customer actually buys.

Generic data misses your materials

Boards, coatings and fittings differ from supplier to supplier, but most footprints rely on generic averages. That hides the real impact of your material choices, for better or worse.

Circularity claims need proof

Take-back, refurbishment, longer lifetimes and recycled content only count if the numbers show it. Upcoming EU ecodesign rules for furniture and stricter claims rules raise the bar.

How LiveCycle AI Solves This

Model every configuration

Import bills of materials from your ERP or PLM, and build reusable models for materials, components and processes. Generate footprints for every product and custom configuration, not just one average product.

Get your materials right

Collect data from board, coating and hardware suppliers through built-in supplier engagement, and combine it with background datasets.

Prove circularity with numbers

Model take-back, refurbishment, longer service life and recycled content as scenarios, and compare their impact across the full life cycle. Every result is traceable and ready for third-party verification.
