Theta® Core simplifies the LCA creation process by providing company or industry specific workflows that are customizable for any use. WAP offers Theta® Core as a tool that can be customized by companies or as a customized product curated by WAP. Theta® Core can be provided as a fully integrated LCA solution or a semi-automated LCA solution depending on the underlying data environment of its users. This versatility makes it the perfect solution for managing LCAs required by extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, LCAs for Digital Product Passports (DPPs) or for generating PACT Compliant Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) at scale.
For companies seeking to use Theta® Core for EPD Development, Theta® Core connects seamlessly with the openEPD® format and epd.world to offer a fully integrated experience.
Linked to internal data sources, manually populated using digital tools (LCA engine), documented in word / PDF and then digitized post creation.
Best For:
Ideal for smaller LCA+EPD projects (less than 20 products), in companies with high M&A and different data systems, companies implementing new ERP systems, or companies with limited environmental and process data.
Creates a digital workflow process from LCA Engine through EPD Publication. OpenEPD is used to facilitate digital verification and distribution via APIs to tools like EC3. PDF Generation occurs from OpenEPD vs. via Word. Verification happens in platform vs. via Outlook & Excel.
Best For:
Ideal for companies looking to create EPDs at scale but may not have strong data systems. The Semi-Integrated approach is roughly 50% faster than the traditional per EPD verification approach.
Creates a fully digital end to end workflow for LCA and EPD automation. This system leverages tailored tools that create EPDs on demand and designed for EPD or LCA creation at scale.
Best For:
Ideal for companies needing EPDs at scale. Companies need strong digital systems for product, bill of materials, supplier and environmental data that can be connected to digitally. The entire workflow is the fastest solution available as it can result in EPDs on demand (pre-verified).
