Comprehensive waste modelling and analysis support
Service reviews and benchmarking

Waste market research
Ricardo can support you by gathering and analysing relevant datasets to inform your business decisions. We take an analytical approach to waste market research; we either use robust existing data or make credible assumptions to which we apply sensitivities and certainty ranges.

Life cycle assessment (LCA)
LCA is an established method for assessing the environmental (and sometimes social) impacts of a product, service, business, policy or process. Many of our clients opt for a high-level scoping LCA initially, and then use the findings to drive and focus follow up investigations.
Ricardo consultants have been performing LCA studies for many years covering a large range of products including industrial equipment, vehicles, lighting, beer, toilets, packaging and paper products.
