This guide walks you through the complete workflow for creating and completing a product climate screening in Målbar LCA. Follow the steps in order for the best results.
1

Create a new screening

From the Screenings overview, click + Create screening, enter a name for your product, and press Create screening to confirm.
2

Fill in Base Data

Click the pen icon next to your screening to open the Base Data editor. Fill in:
  • SKU and EAN numbers
  • Total weight including packaging
  • Product category
  • Claims and logistics replacement rates
  • A product photo
  • Supplier location (manufacturing country)
Click Update base data to save.
The category choice is critical for accuracy — it determines which use phase and disposal calculations are applied. Choose the most specific subcategory available.
3

Add materials

Open the Materials tab and add all materials that make up your product. For each material, select the material type and enter the weight in grams.
Use ’.’ as the decimal separator everywhere in the tool. Never use thousand separators.
4

Add components (if applicable)

If your product is made up of sub-products that have already been screened, open the Components tab and add them. Each component pulls in its own climate footprint data automatically.
5

Add packaging

Open the Packaging tab and add all packaging materials — primary packaging, secondary packaging, and masterbox if applicable.
6

Assign routes

Open the Routes tab and assign the transport routes that apply to this product — from supplier to warehouse, and warehouse to sales location.
Make sure your routes are set up under the Routes section before you get to this step. See the Routes guide for help.
7

Review and view results

Once all data is entered, click View Results to see the full climate footprint breakdown across all life cycle stages:
  • Materials
  • Manufacturing
  • Distribution
  • Use phase
  • End of life
8

Submit for verification (optional)

If you want your screening third-party verified, click the three dots next to your screening and select Submit for verification. See the Verification guide for more details.
You don’t have to complete all steps at once. Målbar LCA saves your progress automatically. You can return to a screening at any time to add or update data.
