Services

European, national and local governments have committed themselves to various sustainability objectives for 2030 and 2050. In order to achieve the sustainability objectives, clients are purchasing sustainably. This is done by tendering with the Environmental Cost Indicator (MKI). In MEAT tenders, the client offers an award discount for a reduction in the MKI score of a project. This stimulates the entire chain. Contractors are rewarded for a cleaner working method and will invest in new pieces of equipment. Producers will be rewarded for producing more sustainable products and will invest in new production techniques, greener transport methods and focus on more sustainable material types.

To enable investments in the entire chain, It is important that clients communicate what the value of sustainability over the long term is. EcoReview has developed a set of instruments to measure the value that clients to provide insight into sustainability. This allows the entire chain to make a more balanced decision in the sustainability strategy.

Clients

Purchasing organizations are now applying the LCA method to assess and reduce the environmental impact of purchases. Clients ask tenderers to provide insight into environmental impact via LCA and reward lower environmental impact with an award based on the Best Price-Quality Ratio (BPKV), creating a performance system that encourages competitiveness in terms of sustainability, price and quality.

Contractors

EcoReview is a dedicated environmental consultancy that strives for a better environment and a sustainable world. We believe in the importance of understanding and minimizing the environmental impact of products and processes. That is why Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI) are the cornerstones of our services. Using these methods, we analyze and evaluate the full lifecycle of products and services, from raw material extraction to production, use and disposal, to help our customers make informed decisions that deliver positive environmental outcomes.

Producers

EcoReview started developing life cycle assessment (LCA) files mainly for manufacturers of construction and infrastructure products. These producers are encouraged and rewarded for producing more sustainable products, which encourages them to invest in new production techniques, greener transportation methods and the use of more sustainable materials. By focusing on sustainability, they strive for a reduced environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of their products, and contribute to a more circular economy.

Verifications

Since 2015, EcoReview has received recognition from the NMD Foundation as an LCA expert and independent auditor, meaning we play an essential role as one of the ‘referees’ in testing LCA calculations by third parties. As recognized experts, we are committed to the accuracy and reliability of LCA results, carrying out quality controls to ensure that the environmental impact of products and processes is evaluated in an objective and transparent manner.
