Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool designed to measure the environmental impact of a product throughout all stages of its life cycle—from raw material extraction to final disposal.
At Lebiu, we use this methodology to transparently analyze the entire journey of our materials. We evaluate every step—from the sustainable harvesting of cork bark to its transformation—to continuously improve our environmental impact and guide mindful design choices.
LCA allows us to support a more circular supply chain, reduce emissions, and provide our partners with verifiable data based on international (ISO) standards — ensuring the genuine sustainability of our products.
For Corskin, the calculated value is 1.2 kg GHG CO₂-eq per square metre, significantly lower than other fossil-based products on the market (8.2 kg) and animal leather (32 kg).
