Introduction

Show students how to create, measure, and compare product footprints

Most students are familiar with sustainability as a concept, but few know how to quantify it. With rising pressure on companies to reduce their environmental impact, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become an essential skill in product and supply chain development.

In this learning solution, students support a virtual chocolate milk manufacturer starting its sustainability journey. Using Ecochain Mobius, they create a cradle-to-gate LCA for a bottle of chocolate milk and assess its footprint across multiple environmental impact categories.

This hands-on experience builds practical LCA skills. Students identify hotspots, compare design alternatives, and translate their findings into actionable insights to improve product sustainability.
