Methodology

Is Pickler’s footprint engine and methodology verified and reliable?

Pickler’s calculations use the IDEMAT database and a Fast-Track LCA methodology verified by Normec Verifavia. Results are credible and explainable, but still depend on product data quality and assumptions.

Full answer

Pickler uses a consistent Fast-Track LCA methodology with structured calculation rules and background data. This supports transparent and comparable footprint calculations across products.

 

Verification of the methodology supports credibility, but it does not mean every product result is automatically legally compliant or perfect. Product-level results still depend on the quality of inputs, evidence, assumptions and how the data is used in communication.

Example

A product with better material, supplier and transport data will usually have a stronger result than one relying heavily on generic defaults.

How Pickler helps

Pickler provides the methodology, data structure and transparency needed to make product impact results more reliable and easier to explain.
