Makersite

Makersite is a product lifecycle intelligence company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. It was created to help manufacturers assess the cost, environmental impact, compliance status, and risk profile of products long before physical prototypes exist, replacing slow spreadsheet-based life cycle assessments.

The platform automates life cycle assessments and product carbon footprints, generates Environmental Product Declarations, and models Scope 3 supply chain emissions using an integrated materials and chemical database. It connects directly to CAD, ERP, and PLM systems so engineering teams can apply ecodesign changes during development. Customers include 3M, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Cummins.

1. Automated LCA: generates life cycle assessments and product carbon footprints without manual data collection.

2. Environmental Product Declarations: produces standardized EPD reports for regulatory and customer disclosure.

3. Scope 3 modelling: estimates supply chain emissions using a built-in materials and chemical database.

4. System integration: connects to CAD, ERP, and PLM tools used by engineering teams.

5. Ecodesign support: flags lower-impact material and design alternatives during product development.

6. Chemical compliance: enriches product data with regulatory chemical information.
