What is Carbon Sync’s mission?Our mission is crystal clear: Making sustainable product design the industry default. Currently, only about 20% of the products you see on the market are considered "sustainable." But we believe that everything we use, from T-shirts to electronics, can have a lower environmental impact. This change won't just come from modifying existing products; we're looking at a whole new era of innovation. And to fast-track this shift, we're putting powerful, easy-to-use sustainability tools right in the hands of industrial designers like you. To learn more about how sustainability is a design problem, refer to our blog post.

What is LCA?LCA stands for "Life Cycle Assessment." LCA is a methodology that helps us understand the environmental impact of a product, like a chair or a phone, from the moment we get the materials, to making it, using it, and eventually throwing it away. It's like looking at the product's entire life story, but focusing on its impact on the environment.
-
Why is LCA important for industrial design teams?LCA is like a compass for designers. It helps them make products that are kinder to the planet, by guiding early stage design decisions. Imagine you're designing a new backpack. LCA tells you which materials are eco-friendly and which ones harm the environment. You can avoid downstream environmental impact by including LCA in your design toolkit at the drawing board.
