Earthster: Scalable Environmental Intelligence

As a founder of Earthster, my mission has been to bridge the gap between complex environmental science and intuitive business decision-making. We transform Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) from a slow, consultant-heavy process into a scalable, real-time business intelligence tool.

The traditional approach to LCA was broken—too slow, too expensive, and too disconnected from modern supply chains. My co-founder Greg Norris and I built Earthster to make LCA cost-efficient, intuitive, and accessible to everyone.

And yet business professionals were hungry for sustainability insights. The alleged gold standard of sustainability measurement was failing them.

We believe sustainability should be part of every business decision. Sustainability has become be a core business function.

Earthster was built by environmental scientists to make LCA cost-efficient, intuitive, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical background.

What we do today

Earthster is a high-speed, scalable LCA software platform that allows companies to calculate and communicate the environmental impact of their entire product portfolios.

  • Scalable LCA automation: Generate thousands of calculations by integrating directly with ERP/PDM systems.
  • Dynamic modeling: Run “what-if” scenarios in seconds to see how changes in materials affect sustainability.
  • Customer and supplier engagement: Collaborative modeling of the full life cycle, including Scope 3 emissions.
  • Streamlined verification: In-app third-party verification for EPDs and ISO compliance.

Impact & Scale

  • 50,000+ product-specific LCA models generated in the time it typically takes to create one.
  • 50%+ reduction in work time compared to traditional solutions.
  • Trusted by industry leaders like Crown packaging, Lipton, or Bekaert.

We are moving sustainability from a niche compliance department to a core driver of product innovation. By automating environmental impact calculations, we help companies move beyond static reports toward dynamic, actionable environmental intelligence.
