Reduce Products’ Environmental Impact for a Competitive Edge
Design impacts up to 80% of a product's sustainability. Teams require advanced solutions to lower their products’ carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions early in the design phase. Beyond just reporting with conventional life cycle assessments (LCAs), aPriori provides actionable insights through rapid sustainability analyses to bolster product design decisions.
With aPriori, you can seamlessly calculate CO2e emissions of new or redesigned products, amplify sustainable design efforts, and boost your competitiveness.
Benefits
- Balance product design options for performance, sustainability, and cost efficiency simultaneously
- Calculate CO2e from raw material extraction and refinement, 3D design-specific cycle times, and energy use in part/assembly production
- Evaluate product-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cradle to gate, including Scope 3 emissions
- Provide precise carbon data from design to production to augment comprehensive LCA reporting
- Compare alternative materials, suppliers, and production methods down to the machine level for cost and carbon savings
Design Greener, More Cost-Effective Products
Use aPriori’s digital models for “Should Carbon,” a novel approach for precisely calculating products' carbon footprints while considering cost. Leverage aPriori to address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, fostering a more environmentally conscious approach to manufacturing and reducing climate change impacts.
