Sustainable Minds
Making Environmental Performance Mainstream.
Overview
Sustainable Minds is a cloud-based software that integrates life cycle assessment (LCA) directly into the product development process. It is designed for designers and engineers, not LCA experts, to quickly assess the environmental performance of concepts and make informed decisions early in the design phase. They also offer a Transparency Report (EPD) program.
✨ Key Features
- Streamlined, simplified LCA for product design
- Comparative analysis of design concepts
- Integration with CAD software
- SM Impact Factor methodology for easy interpretation
- Transparency Report (EPD) generation and hosting
- Material and process database
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on ease-of-use for designers and engineers
- Integration into early-stage design workflows and CAD
- Unique single-score impact factor for quick comparisons
Unique Value: Empowers product designers and engineers to rapidly assess and improve the environmental performance of their products from the earliest stages of design.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Product manufacturers for integrating LCA into their design workflow
- Design and engineering teams without dedicated LCA experts
- Building product manufacturers creating EPDs
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- LCA experts requiring deep, customizable methodological control
- Users needing to perform LCAs for non-product systems (e.g., entire buildings)
🏆 Alternatives
Far simpler and faster for early-stage design assessment than complex expert tools like SimaPro, with a focus on actionable design guidance.
