SERVICES
Green transformation of your company
Contemporary business faces challenges related to environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. More and more companies in Poland and Europe are implementing ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) strategies and investing in eco-design to build competitive advantage, meet market demands, and comply with new regulations, including non-financial reporting obligations.
Why is it worth implementing ESG and eco-design?
Implementing ESG and eco-design is an investment in the long-term competitiveness, reputation, and resilience of a company. It is not only about meeting requirements, but also about real savings, new business opportunities, and greater customer and employee loyalty.
By implementing strategies and practices that bring environmental and social benefits, a company can effectively manage risk, gain better access to financing, build its competitive position in demanding foreign markets, and build trust among customers and the community in which it operates.

FAQ: Eco-design and life cycle assessment (LCA)
What is eco-design of industrial products?
Eco-design means creating products in such a way that their impact on the environment is minimized—right from the design stage.
At Łukasiewicz – PIT, we help companies:
optimize their designs,
select more environmentally friendly materials,
extend the life cycle of their products,
enable recycling or recovery of components.
What is a life cycle assessment (LCA)?
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is a tool that allows you to assess the environmental impact of a product or process at every stage—from raw material extraction, through production and use, to disposal.
In practice:
We create an LCA model according to ISO 14040/14044
We show specific values for CO₂ emissions, water, energy, and material consumption
We identify environmental hotspots that are worth optimizing
Is LCA analysis mandatory in the EU?
LCA supports compliance with the Ecodesign Regulation for sustainable products (ESPR)
- and is often the basis for obtaining an ecolabel or environmental product declaration (EPD).
Which industries use eco-design services?
We most often work with companies from the following sectors:
machine and automotive industry
wood and furniture industry
electronics and electrical engineering
household appliances and consumer equipment
packaging, plastics, composite materials
construction and installation industry
However, the LCA and eco-design methodology works wherever a product or process has a physical form and impacts the environment.
What do I get as part of the LCA service from Łukasiewicz – PIT?
The ready-made LCA package includes:
A professional report compliant with ISO standards
Visualization of the product life cycle
Identification of areas with the greatest environmental impact
Recommendations: what to change to reduce emissions, waste, and costs
Workshop with your design or R&D team
How long does it take to perform an LCA analysis and how much does it cost?
Duration: 4 to 8 weeks (depending on the complexity of the product and data availability)
Cost: we provide individual quotes – the price depends on the number of product variants, the level of detail, and the scope of the analysis.
We are happy to provide a free initial consultation to determine the scope and propose a variant tailored to your needs. Check it out.
