“SCS’ expertise in Life Cycle Assessments makes the process and results seamless, timely, and accurate.”
Norman K. Nance | VP Marketing, A/D, Environmental Initiatives

“As chair of a 4-person panel, I helped to review SCS’s LCA of Reincarnation 100 paper. Based on a thorough examination, we were confident that this LCA was one of the most comprehensive, exacting, transparent and understandable reports on paper production ever to be published. We were very impressed with SCS’s thoroughness and the quality of the resulting LCA study.” 
Susan Kinsella | Conservatree

“We chose SCS to complete our LCA because of the rigorous, holistic nature of the standardized methodology they apply, and their reputation for thoroughness and quality. The LCA study they completed presents a comprehensive and fair analysis that sets a new baseline for future LCAs. We are very pleased with the result.”
