Målbar LCA

You can control, what you can measure

What is Målbar LCA?

Målbar LCA is a product-level life cycle assessment tool that helps companies measure and understand the environmental impact of their products, based on the EU’s Product Environmental Footprint methodology.

It is built for companies that need reliable and comparable results, without complex software or long consultancy processes.

A practical approach to product-level impact

Målbar LCA makes it possible to calculate environmental impact early and consistently. It supports both new product development and documentation of existing products, while creating a solid foundation for communication and reporting.

The tool combines scientific methodology, third-party verification, and a practical workflow designed to fit real-world product development processes.

How Målbar LCA is used

Målbar LCA is typically used when companies need a structured starting point for understanding environmental impact. This can be early in the design phase, when evaluating alternatives, or later when preparing documentation and reporting.

By working with comparable data and transparent assumptions, teams can make better-informed decisions and move forward with confidence.

What does Målbar LCA do?

Målbar LCA enables companies to measure environmental impact at product level and compare products, materials, or design choices using a consistent framework.

The results are aligned with PEF and EU standards and can be used to support internal decision-making, documentation, and external communication.

The focus is on screening-level LCAs that provide clarity and direction, rather than heavy, one-off studies.

How Målbar LCA fits into your workflow

Målbar LCA is used as a structured starting point for understanding product-level environmental impact. It supports early design decisions, comparisons between alternatives, and the documentation of existing products.

The tool is designed to be used across teams, allowing environmental data to be generated and reused consistently throughout development and reporting processes.

What kind of results does Målbar LCA provide?

Målbar LCA produces structured, comparable results based on predefined system boundaries and impact categories. The output is suitable for internal analysis and forms a basis for further documentation and communication.

The validity of the results generated in Målbar LCA is naturally highly dependent on input data. Our platform is very complex on the inside and contains a huge amount of trustworthy data, but if one enters wrongful or lacking information about a product, the results will reflect this.

Here, we will explain three types of verification and how you may use your screening results with each type.

Self-assessment

Included in subscription

It is solely the client’s responsibility, that input data is correct and valid. The screening results are for internal purposes only. Målbar takes no responsibility for the results. The client can solely refer to this result as; calculated in Målbar LCA, but not verified by Målbar.

Verified by Målbar

200€ per hour

Målbar verifies that the input data provided by the client lies within the “normal” range and that any claim of sustainable aspects is documented. We also check if the mass balance is accurate and if any materials/processes are forgotten or mistyped. The client can then refer to the screening result as verified by Målbar.

The report includes following confirming that your screening has been verified by Målbar:

  • The official Målbar disclaimer
  • LCA information
  • Data qualification details

This gives you a clear, transparent way to document and share verified results, whether for internal reporting, customer communication, or compliance purposes.

You can download and print your Målbar verification report directly from the Målbar LCA platform.

Third party verified

Contact for quotation

A company accredited to verify Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) results can assess and confirm your complete screening results.
Once verified, the result can be used as an official PEF result, ensuring that your documentation meets recognised standards of accuracy and transparency.

Meet Lærke

         +45 22 32 65 02

 

During the collaboration between 17 brand owners on measuring the climate impact of an entire furniture collection, Lærke worked as project manager for one of these furniture companies, managing the calculating of climate emissions on their furniture. For an intense summer, she worked in Målbar’s screening tool, learning about data sheets, materials, the composition of furniture and much more, that she had never concerned herself with before.

After the big presentation of the climate screened furniture collection in summer 2021, Jakob and Anders decided to hire their first permanent employee. So now Lærke is our word magician.

 

"Being part of Målbar is being part of a greater movement and it feels like we are in the front of it, the green transition. It is also being part of a company in rapid development, so having to master new skills and learning new, exciting stuff is naturally and fortunately a vital part of the job.”

 

Lærke is a hardcore content creator. She has a master’s degree in Corporate Communication from Aarhus University and a special interest in and passion for communicating sustainability related messages in a way that makes complicated stuff easy to understand.

 

Lærkes favorite place is her home. She lives in a small commune in Jutland with her husband, their two kids, and two other families. They have their own house while sharing a large, wild, and vigorous garden with playgrounds, kitchen gardens, greenhouse, hens and a magnificent view over green fields and the small village of Vinderslev.

 

"This place makes me happy, because there’s so much life here; our kids playing, flowers blooming, and crops growing. This is our little paradise”.

 

Yoga is Lærke’s go-to activity when she needs to bring up her energy levels, clear her head or create extra focus. And since Lærke works from home most days, she can easily fit in 15 minutes of yoga in her lunch break.

Meet Jakob

 

"My story with Målbar started when Anders and I were colleagues at FDB Møbler - I was head of International Sales and Anders were Head of CSR and Product Development. During that time, it became very clear to me, that if we want to drive a positive change and incorporate a more thoughtfull and futureproof mindset into our company strategies, it requires a very close partnership between the commercial side of the business and the CSR team”

 

With the establishment of MÅLBAR, we are striving to build this bridge between these two often very different worlds, and ultimately to create a more common language for everybody. If we do this right, we have the possibility to utilize the free market forces to help drive a positive change.

 

"It's with great pride and humbleness that I get up every morning and work together with our amazing and dedicated team of professionals, experts and devoted minds all working for the same mission - to drive a positive change for something better! Our team is by far our biggest achievement so far, and Målbar would be nothing without them!”

 

In his spare time, Jakob enjoys as much time as possible with his wife and son, who they feel grows up way to fast! To clear his mind, Jakob basically engages in two very different activities. It is either a fast-paced and high-pulse padel tennis match, or the more long-term mental challenge of a round of golf. Here, he often enjoys the nature, the calm, and the mental challenge way more than the troublesome golf-strikes themselves.

 

As the CEO of Målbar, Jakob feels fortunate to be involved in a lot of our projects, and together with our team, he paves the road for our company.

It's always been crucial for us to have a close dialogue with our customers. To secure that, we are always on the same page with their world of operation, and the feedback we get from them is absolute crucial for our further development of MÅLBAR and our services. The combination of that, and our high standards for compliance of European legislation are often a path of challenge, but also extremely rewarding when we see the actual impact in the industry following new legislation.

 

"My best advice for our users would be to focus intensely on establishing a strong and easy-workable system to collect and maintain product-level details. It is crucial in the future for any company to secure a very high level of detail on all products, services, and operations - not only for the sake of product environmental screenings, but for own control and compliance with current and future legislation.”

Meet Anders

         +45 28 18 52 46

 

Anders is our very detail-oriented data nerd and oracle. Collecting and working with data as well as saving the planet with data are his passions.

Anders grew up in a Copenhagen suburb area called Vestegnen. Back then, it was close to nature, which Anders enjoyed a lot. Today, Anders still lives in Copenhagen with his husband in a beautiful 150-year-old apartment by the lakes. They have renovated it by themselves with great respect for the old materials and details.

 

"It is usually fun to do and brings me great joy when I’m satisfied with the result.”

 

Anders appreciates that both nature and culture are within biking distance in the city – he especially likes exhibitions about design, architecture, and art.

Anders has always cared about sustainability and worked on solutions to climate change. Already in the 90s, he started working with LCAs. And he never stops being curious and always wants to gain new knowledge in the area of sustainability.

 

"I am very curious about the concept of Absolute Sustainability within the 9 planetary boundaries. How it is measured and whether it could be a true way to measure also our unsustainable consumption patterns. I believe that if we in a meaningful way can measure sustainability then the green transition will happen much faster.”

 

Anders’ hopes for the future are that the respect for science and documentation becomes more important again. And his advice to our customers is to focus less on materials (animal materials exempted) and focus more on switching to renewable energy in production of both materials and products.

Meet Natasha

 

During summer 2022, it became clear that we needed more and better graphic skills, and that’s when we hired Natasha.

 

"It was important for me to find a workplace with space to be myself and people who I can relate to. I worked parttime for about 8 months and then got offered a fulltime position as inhouse designer.”

 

Flexibility and amazing colleagues are important things to Natasha in her professional life. What Natasha likes about the Målbar team is that we have our fundamental values in common.

 

"I want to be a part of something good, helping people understand, learn and making the right decisions. I feel like I can do that here.”

 

Natasha has a professional bachelor’s degree in visual communication from the Danish School of Media and Journalism. For her final bachelor project, she created a whole universe around a made-up business renting slings to new parents.  This is a good example of how Natasha in her professional life not only cares about the visuals but also what she communicates. It must have a good purpose and be meaningful to her.

 

Natasha is a kind and always positive person. She grew up in a Danish home but with Italian culture and food. She likes everything health related and love to cook and eat, using fresh and local ingredients. She likes to read about the mind, the breath, and how the body works. Which naturally brings her to wanting to take care of our home, our planet and being a mindful consumer.

 

Natasha also loves to move in almost every way. She likes yoga, dancing, running, cycling and surfing. She has two beautiful girls and they all like to spend time together outside in parks, at the beach, or anywhere green really.

 

Natasha’s hopes for the future are that people start taking more responsibility of their own actions and realize the important tasks we have in front of us.

 

"For me, sustainability is the way we live together with nature, and how we protect our wildlife and the oceans.“

 

Natashas advise to our customers is: A photo can say more than a thousand words, choose wisely.

Meet Sasisa

          +45 25 65 02 02

 

We hired Sasisa in March 2022. She started out as maternity cover, but already during the summer of 2022, it became obvious that Målbar needed a clearer division of tasks and Sasisa was ready to take a larger responsibility. She was therefore promoted to Head of Communications and PR.
Sasisa - or Sas as we call her in daily speak – took on her new role with enthusiasm, professionalism, and great care.

 

"I was looking for a meaningful job, where I knew my colleagues would share my values on work life and family life. I worked with Jakob in the past so it wasn’t hard to convince me that Målbar was the perfect place for me”.

 

Sasisa lives in Valby with her husband and two kids. Both Sas and her husband are from the same town in Funen and their families live right next to each other.

 

In her free time, Sasisa likes to enjoy nature with her family and to explore new restaurants with her friends. She also likes running and knitting. In fact, sewing and knitting are Sasisa’s newest hobby, and she plans on getting really good at it.

 

Sasisas parents are from Sri Lanka. Among many other things, they have played an important part in her commitment to the green transition. 

 

"My parents have been good at living responsibly since their upbringing in Sri Lanka was characterized by survival due to the Civil War. They have always grown many crops in their garden, avoided wasting any food, and only bought clothes when they needed them. This lifestyle has become a natural part of my way of living.”

 

Her family’s background has also influenced her professional path. She is deeply interested in intercultural understanding and consumer behavior. She excels at conceptualizing ideas, understanding her audience, creating structure, and paying meticulous attention to detail.

 

"My team and I work hard to translate the complexity of LCAs, environmental data and EU climate legislation into understandable information for everybody. I love that. Our way of working together to create a good product like an illustration or a guideline for our customers is unique.”

 

Sasisa’s hope for the future is that the communication and marketing business increases its obligation towards helping consumers make responsible choices. Our business needs to take responsibility for educating consumers and not mislead. We have an important voice in society.

Meet Leonor

 

Leonor started her journey in Målbar as student assistant in October 2022 when she was about to write her Master thesis. In October 2023, she finished her thesis and continued in a full-time position at Målbar.

For Leonor, it is a true pleasure to be part of the Målbar team.

 

"The environment is very relaxed, and it is clear to me that I’m working with people that are motivated and believe in the importance of their work.”

 

An important professional value to Leonor is to be able to identify the direct positive impact her contribution will have on our society.

 

Leonor grew up in sunny Lisbon, Portugal. She has always liked physical and outdoor activities and especially worships the water.

Meet Claudia

 

Claudia discovered Målbar on a DTU fair and reached out to us when she was about to begin her Master thesis. During her thesis writing, she has launched into a deep and thorough analysis of PEF and EPDs in order to explain the differences among the results coming from the two methodologies. Simultaneously, she worked as a student assistant, and soon after she graduated, she signed on a permanent position.

 

Claudia is happy to be part of Målbar. Like all her colleagues, she finds it important to work for a bigger cause while being in a calm and positive environment.

 

"Everyone makes you feel very welcome, and you can feel the energetic atmosphere of people working here!”

 

Claudia grew up in Northern Italy in a small town in the countryside. Even though she doesn’t find her hometown one of the prettiest parts of her country, she misses seeing the mountains when looking at the horizon.

 

In her spare time, she likes exploring new kinds of music, meditating, doing sports, and going to cultural events of any kind.

 

"I love keeping my energy high, so I am often into trying new random activities. I also love dancing and music in general. I am a former dancer and would like to start again, maybe taking some singing classes as well.”

 

Claudia recently graduated from a MSc in Environmental Engineering at DTU. Last summer, as part of her MSc, she had a short stay in Bangalore, at TIGS, for an exchange program about sustainable projects in India’s aspirational district, where her research focused on environmental stewardship in agriculture.

 

"I believe in general when it comes to sustainability the main important thing for me is that every claim is backed up by data. Apart from that, I get excited when I see all the aspects of sustainability – environmental, economic and social – equally cared for in a project.”

Looking towards the future, Neeraj is committed to contributing to the fields of sustainability and green transition. His ambition is to play a role in transforming our planet into a more  sustainable environment for future generations. To him, sustainability is fundamentally about conducting our lives and work in a manner that conscientiously considers the needs of the future generations.

 

"My keen interest lies in the circular economy, a model I find both fascinating and crucial. I am convinced that by embracing circularity—effectively closing the loop on our consumption and production cycles—we can significantly alter our environmental impact. It's the transformative power of circularity to foster a more sustainable, efficient, and regenerative system that I am most passionate about, believing it to be a key driver in our quest for a more sustainable future.”

Pablo came to Denmark to complete his second year of his master's degree and thesis at the DTU, as he wanted to focus his specialization in construction and industrial installations (architectural engineering) in the field of sustainability and circular economy.

 

"After completing my master's degree, and with an interest to continue developing in this professional area, I contacted Målbar, as it covered many of the points I saw as important to start with my professional path, being a company with clear objectives and values aligned with my own.”

 

As part of our engineering team, Pablo oversees the verification of product screening from customers and provide support on how they can improve their outcome of our screening tool.

 

Pablo grew up in Bilbao, Spain. He studied his two Bachelor degrees there - one in General Engineering and other in Business Administration and Management – and then he moved to Valencia, taking his master's degree in Engineering.

 

"With the desire to live an experience outside Spain and cultivate my interest in the area of sustainability, I decided to complete the specialisation and thesis in DTU in Denmark, focusing on the area of sustainability and circular economy in the construction sector.”

 

Pablo is a very active and curious person and he likes to import these elements into his work environment with continuous learning and development of new projects where he can keep learning.

 

He has a passion for handball, which he still play in a team in Copenhagen. He is also into cycling, trying to take advantage of Denmark's brighter months to go out and ride. In addition, for many years he was a leisure time instructor and also collaborated in different projects, both socio-educational and social, this being an important personal interest that he still tries to stay connected with.

 

For Pablo, sustainability means finding a balance with the environment around us, social, environmental, and economic at all levels, so that the impact we may have today does not have negative repercussions in the future.

 

"From a professional perspective, I am most interested in environmental conservation, climate action, and responsible consumption and production.”

"In my free time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, tending to a garden or smaller building projects. Hobbies such as gardening and building allow me to channel my creativity and connect with nature on a deeper and less intellectual level. I hope to pass this relationship on to future generations, as my hopes for the future are firmly rooted in harmonization, aspiring to create a world where humans and nature coexist.”

 

To Morten, sustainability encompasses a holistic approach to preserving our planet for future generations without limiting curiosity, advancement and exploration. He is particularly passionate about optimizing resource management and understanding consumer behavior, recognizing the central role these areas play in mitigating environmental degradation.

Elia joined Målbar as a student assistant and quickly felt at home in the team.

With a background in Materials Science and Technology from Italy and an ongoing MSc in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering at DTU, he brings a strong technical foundation and a passion for sustainability. Currently, he is working on an academic project focused on designing and manufacturing natural fiber cups—combining material innovation with a focus on environmental impact.

At Målbar, Elia helps verify customer screenings and print reports. About the verifying tasks he says:

"You are able to actually see the real environmental impact of many products. It is interesting because sometimes a little change in a parameter could result in a considerable variation in the final screening's result".

Elia is originally from a small town near Turin.

He enjoys walking, reading, sports, and cooking in his free time. He has a keen interest in fashion and cars, blending creativity with technical knowledge.

His perspective on sustainability is about balance—ensuring that today’s needs are met without compromising the future.

His advice to Målbar’s customers? Whenever possible, choose materials that have low emissions, even if they come at a slightly higher cost—it makes a difference in the long run.

Meet Aron

 

Aron joined Målbar after discovering the position through DTU’s job portal. The role felt like the perfect way to combine his engineering studies with his interest in climate action and climate-reflected product development.

Originally from Reykjavík, Iceland, Aron holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Iceland and is now studying for his master’s degree at DTU, where his interest in sustainability and product design continues to grow.

"Since middle school I have been passionate about climate change and wanted to help in reducing it. Through my bachelor’s studies at the university of Iceland a gained an increased interest sustainability and since DTU emphasizes that in all of their courses(at least all of my courses) I was very happy to be able to take my master there". He says.

At Målbar, Aron supports the engineering team as a student assistant. He helps verify screenings and ensure the quality of climate footprint results, and looks forward to contributing further to the development of the Målbar LCA platform.

Outside of work, Aron spends as much time as possible outdoors, whether hiking, playing handball, or enjoying disc golf during Iceland’s long summer days.

His main sustainability interest lies in the energy transition and the shift from fossil fuels to renewable solutions. But he’s equally fascinated by how product design and life cycle assessments can make a real difference.

"Outside the energy agenda is what I am most interested in, so switching from fossil fuels to something more sustainable. I do however also really enjoy product design and am therefore very passionate about the impact of a developed product and therefore find LCA very interesting". He says.

Meet Benjamin

   

Benjamin first heard about Målbar through our Customer Relations Manager, Allan; a former colleague who sparked his interest in what we do.For a long time, Benjamin had been looking for a way to contribute to the green transition and believed that real change had to come from government regulation of large corporations. What changed his perspective was Målbar’s approach: making climate knowledge accessible through a tool that simplifies CO₂eq calculations and puts that power into the hands of everyone.

"It makes sense to be part of something that empowers action through data".

Benjamin discovered his love for programming back in high school and quickly knew it was the path he wanted to follow. After graduation, he pursued a degree in Computer Science (Datamatiker) to get hands-on experience as quickly as possible. He landed a job in the wine industry, helping build a digital platform, and stayed on full-time after finishing his studies. While working he explored programming through side projects in his spare time. 

At Målbar, Benjamin is part of the software development team, but his role goes beyond coding. He also serves as a bridge between the developers and the rest of the team. He is helping colleagues with technical challenges and making sure the tool continues to evolve in ways that meet real user needs.

"I love solving problems and building tools that make people's everyday work smoother. And I'm passionate about creating platforms that are actually used.”

Benjamin grew up in Greve and now lives in Northern Jutland with his fiancée. In his free time, he likes watching bad movies, playing games with friends, and working on small coding projects. He also spends time outdoor with his fiancée. They love gardening and training his fiancée's horses.

To Benjamin, sustainability means reaching a point where the way we produce and consume no longer harms the planet – without having to give up quality of life.

"I want my future children to experience what I've been lucky enough to see, like the nature of Iceland for example. That means we have to protect the resources we have now."

Benjamin’s advice to Målbar customers: "Data is the key. The more data you have, the better you understand the bigger picture."

Meet Allan

   

Allan joined Målbar with a desire to combine his customer-focused experience with work that makes a real difference. With a background in retail and years of experience in customer relations, he brings strong skills in helping our customers.

"I am educated within retail and have, over the years, built up solid experience in customer relations and service. This has given me a strong understanding of how to create great experiences and build trust – skills I use every day at Målbar.".

At Målbar, Allan is responsible for supporting and onboarding both new and existing customers. He enjoys helping them find the right solutions and values the variety of relationships and challenges his role brings.

"What I like most about my work is the variety of relationships and problems I encounter – and the opportunity to make a real difference for our customers.”

Allan stays active through running and enjoys photography. He is passionate about contributing to Målbar’s journey, optimising what we offer, and creating meaningful impact for our customers. 

Sustainability is important to Allan, especially reducing food waste. It is an area where small actions can make a big difference.

"Sustainability, to me, is something we all have a responsibility to take part in. Nobody can be perfect, but we can each make changes that, in the bigger picture, really matter."

Allan’s advice to Målbar customers: "Even if an improvement seems small, it all adds up. And never be afraid to reach out – there is always help available."
