For internal use, yes: a single-criterion LCA using secondary data (Ecoinvent, ADEME Base Empreinte) costs €3,000 to €8,000 excl. VAT and is sufficient to identify a product's largest categories or decide on a material choice. It does not distinguish your product from the average and does not stand up for public communication, regulatory labelling or a tender with environmental criteria. Primary data collection accounts for 60 to 80% of engagement time: focus it on the categories identified as significant.
