SimaPro Life cycle assessment Product environmental footprint (PEF)
The EU’s Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method may also have benefits for non-EU countries. For UNIDO, PRé helped build PEF capacity in countries in the Southern Mediterranean region.

SimaPro Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Product environmental footprint (PEF)
For a large construction trade association, PRé did PEF studies on two equivalent products and compared the results to EPDs based on the EN 15804 standard. The parameterised model is future-proof and the comparison yielded important insights.
SimaPro Life cycle assessment
For AgroFair, a large banana importer looking to differentiate its products, PRé developed the easy-to-use Pesticide Footprint tool to quantify the toxic impacts of pesticides on human health and freshwater ecosystems.
SimaPro Circular economy Life cycle assessment
For Infinity Foods, PRé and the Wageningen University assessed the environmental impacts of 3 production methods of dietary fibres and beta-carotene. The assessment uncovers the business case for using residual carrots from vegetable food waste streams.
SimaPro Product environmental footprint (PEF) Review and verification
Part of the European Commission’s Environmental Footprinting initiative is testing its new rules with real products. PRé and Ecomatters reviewed 40 studies, uncovering useful information that will be used to refine the rules.
A water footprint is a measure of how much water your business uses and which direct and indirect environmental impacts result from this. It can help you understand and manage your water use and even protect your company from physical, regulatory, and reputation risks.
SimaPro Life cycle assessment Harmonizing LCA rules
For labelling industry associations FINAT and TLMI, PRé developed a harmonised approach to LCA. This helps FINAT and TLMI members integrate LCA in their practice in a way that increases transparency and insight throughout the sector.
SimaPro Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Life cycle assessment
For a group of Croatian businesses and scientific institutes, PRé did an LCA to determine the environmental performance of innovative ECO-SANDWICH® wall panels, developed for fast construction of energy-efficient buildings on a large scale.
With the release of Agri-footprint 2.0, it's a good time to look back at some of the influential projects Agri-footprint has been used for so far. From product design tools to labelling schemes, from national analysis to scientific publications.
