What it says it does
Ecochain, as Ecochain describes it
Ecochain’s own description, from its site: “Ecochain is an LCA automation software company with one purpose: to make LCAs accessible for manufacturers”
Ecochain sells LCA automation for manufacturers; its CBAM, CSRD and Scope 3 references concern supplying product-level data, not filing declarations or a corporate inventory.
Its English and German pricing pages disagreed when read.
This site files Ecochain under lca and product footprint, from what its own pages describe; the categories are a way to find it, not a judgement of it.
