Carbon Minds

We help companies efficiently measure and analyze their environmental impacts, identify targeted reduction opportunities, and achieve their sustainability goals. Our consulting services include robust PCF and LCA studies for individual or multiple products, the development of certifiable methodologies for environmental assessments, and the design of science-based strategies to reach climate neutrality—ranging from single production sites to entire value chains.

The Carbon Minds database is the world’s largest database for Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) for chemicals and plastics. It contains over 130,000 datasets covering more than 1,500 chemicals and plastics, modeled with multiple production technologies across 200+ regions. This exceptional geographic granularity enables more representative environmental impact assessments and supports informed strategies to reduce and monitor real-world impacts. The database is updated annually to reflect the most recent industry dynamics, incorporating the latest in technology, trade, and market data. This ensures that assessments accurately represent the current state of the chemical industry. The Carbon Minds database methodology is TÜV-certified for compliance with ISO 14040, ISO 14044, ISO 14067, the Together for Sustainability (TfS) PCF Guidelines, and the UEIL/ATIEL methodology for PCF calculations of lubricants and other specialities. This ensures alignment with international standards and provides the credibility needed for robust sustainability strategies.
