Variable

Variable provides an AI-native life cycle assessment (LCA) platform for manufacturers seeking to measure and improve the environmental impact of their products. Its system automates product-specific LCAs and supports the creation of third-party-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), product carbon footprints, and Digital Product Passports across portfolios ranging from dozens to thousands of products.

The platform connects product and supply-chain data to dynamic models, helping teams update assessments when underlying information changes. Automated workflows support tasks such as importing bills of materials, matching materials to datasets, assigning transport and production activities, and preparing results for independent verification and publication. Guardrails are designed to help maintain accuracy throughout the process.

Variable also provides tools for comparing materials, suppliers, and design choices, enabling manufacturers to assess lower-carbon scenarios and inform ecodesign decisions. Its services include LCA automation, sustainability data sharing, and product improvement support, with reporting and planning capabilities for enterprise-scale use. By keeping environmental information current and product-specific, Variable helps sustainability and research teams manage assessment work across entire product catalogs.
