Lifecycle assessment (LCA) / footprint calculation tool
Supply chain traceability platform
Målbar LCA
Målbar LCA is a SaaS platform focused on lifecycle assessment (LCA) and footprint calculation, enabling users to measure climate footprints, screen products, identify environmental hotspots, and support reporting in furniture, design, and industrial manufacturing sectors. It targets brands, retailers, and suppliers across the value chain, including SMEs, with adaptations for shared data entry and traceability of product compositions. Key strengths include support for EU PEF and ISO 14040/14044 frameworks, integration via APIs and bulk data methods, and handling of quantitative, qualitative, and verified sustainability data.
AI-generated from all supplier submitted data.

Details
Description by tool provider
Målbar, makes life-cycle climate footprints measurable for those driving progress across furniture, design and industrial manufacturing. With the LCA platform, you can rapidly screen products, pinpoint environmental hotspots at scale and support climate reporting.
Product segments covered by the tool
- Furniture
- Sports & outdoor equipment
- Textile & leather accessories and goods -
- Home textiles
- Other non-textile products
Data input/output methods
- Reporting export
- Manual data entry
- Bulk upload/export (Excel / CSV)
- Inbound APIs
- Outbound APIs
- Event-based APIs (webhooks, outbound)
Chemical substance traceability
Chain-of-custody is a continuity capability; composition and substance traceability are depth capabilities. Neither replaces the other.
Product composition / component traceability - Products are represented as structured compositions (e.g. components, ingredients) that can be independently traced to upstream sources.;
Sustainability Impact categories
Impact data coverage describes which sustainability-related topics a platform can store and manage data for. It does not indicate the quality of the data, the methodology used, or whether impacts meet specific regulatory thresholds.
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data - (e.g. environmental footprint indicators at product or material level)
- Carbon & energy data - (e.g. GHG emissions, energy use, Scope-related data)
- Material attributes - (e.g. fiber type, recycled / biobased content, origin attributes)
- Supplier processes & practices - (e.g. production processes, management systems, operational practices)
Types of sustainability impact data
Impact data coverage indicates what topics a system can handle; traceability capabilities indicate how precisely that data can be linked to products, materials, and processes.
- Quantitative data - (e.g. numeric values, measurements, calculated indicators)
- Qualitative data - (e.g. yes/no answers, self-assessments, policy statements)
- Verification & audit evidence - (e.g. audit results, third-party verification status)
- Certificates & formal attestations - (e.g. certificates linked to suppliers, materials, or products)
- Calculated / derived indicators - (e.g. system-generated metrics based on underlying data)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) handling
Product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations represent a single impact category and do not constitute a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which covers multiple environmental impact categories across the product life cycle
- The platform includes LCA calculation functionality - (e.g. impacts are calculated within the system - multiple impact categories)
- Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data can be stored and managed - (e.g. LCA-ready process inputs/outputs, background data, activity data)
LCA frameworks supported
- EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)
- ISO 14040 / 14044
Risk assessment support
Risk assessment functionality indicates whether a platform supports identifying, prioritising, or visualising potential sustainability or compliance risks. Approaches vary significantly between tools and may rely on user-defined criteria, predefined rules, or system-generated indicators. Risk assessments are intended to support prioritisation and decision-making. They do not in themselves constitute legal compliance or due diligence.
No risk assessment functionality;
Value chain actors involved in data exchange
- Brand / retailer users - (e.g. internal teams managing products, suppliers, or reporting)
- Tier 1 suppliers - (e.g. cut-and-sew factories, final assemblers)
- Tier 2 suppliers - (e.g. mills, dye houses, processors)
- Tier 3+ suppliers - (e.g. raw material processors, fiber producers)
- Service providers / auditors / certification bodies - (e.g. third-party verification or compliance actors)
- Logistics or downstream partners - (e.g. distributors, recyclers, end-of-life actors)
EU regulatory readiness
Regulatory readiness reflects how a provider monitors and responds to evolving EU sustainability and supply chain regulations. It does not constitute a claim of legal compliance, as regulatory scope and timelines are still evolving.
Nordic market leader in PEF rules and aligning with ESPR for DPP.
