Develop earth friendly and compliant products

Integrate environmental data with product data at every phase of the product lifecycle using Teamcenter for sustainable product development.

Design with sustainability in mind

Teamcenter helps you design to reduce environmental impacts across the entire product lifecycle — from raw material extraction to end-of-life. AI-powered PLM predicts environmental performance using historical data and supply chain insights. Run what-if simulations in the design phase to balance sustainability, cost, and risk. Generate automated ISO-grade LCAs and standards-ready reports (PCF, PEF, EPD).

Manage materials and substances early in the lifecycle

Control and trace the material makeup of your products down to the substance level. Teamcenter helps you limit the use of hazardous substances in products and reduce the risk of non-compliance with regulatory directives (REACH, RoHS, Conflict Minerals, etc.). While supporting your sustainability objectives, you can grow your business and build customer loyalty by developing innovative, earth-friendly products.

Calculate your product carbon footprint

Gain competitive advantage in green design strategies by analyzing product cost and carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle. Teamcenter Carbon Footprint Calculator helps you analyze greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by a product over the cradle-to-gate stage, following standards for carbon footprints (ISO 14067) and GHG protocol. Optimize your initiatives by analyzing cost and CO₂e trade-offs.
