iPoint Takes Over Industry Leader in Life Cycle Assessment and Material Flow Cost Accounting / Reutlingen-based Software House Extends Circular Economy Portfolio with LCA and MFCA Solutions

Reutlingen (ots) - iPoint-systems continues its growth course.
Since December 2017, ifu Institute for Environmental IT Hamburg is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the iPoint Group. The software and
consulting company headquartered in Reutlingen, Germany, is thus
further expanding its solution portfolio in the area of life cycle
assessment and material flow cost accounting.

The Institute for Environmental IT has been assisting companies on
the path to sustainable production since 1992 in order to increase
their competitiveness. The Hamburg-based company offers software and
services in the areas of life cycle assessment (LCA), material flow
management and material flow cost accounting (MFCA), resource and
energy efficiency, carbon and ecological footprint as well as
sustainable products and value creation chains.

We are very happy to be able to bring the renowned solutions of
the ifu Institute for Environmental IT Hamburg under our roof," says
Jörg Walden, founder and CEO of iPoint-systems gmbh. "This expansion
of the iPoint solution portfolio is an important step in realizing
our vision to build an integrated digital platform for the Circular
Economy. The ifu Institute for Environmental IT Hamburg also brings
cross-industry expertise and a valuable customer and research network
to the iPoint Group."

ifu Managing Director Jan Hedemann emphasizes: "Together, we look
back on a 40-year history of success with market-leading solutions.
In the future, we want to further develop them together for our
customers, also within the framework of tried and tested research
cooperations."

iPoint and ifu have been cooperating since 2013 in the research
project "MultiMaK," which aims at the development of design and
assessment tools for ecologically optimized multi-material
lightweight construction automotive components for mass production.
The "Live LCA" project, which started in 2017, is also a cooperation
with other partners from industry and research. The aim is to develop
a software solution that enables companies to combine available
material and energy consumption data for the live calculation of LCA
and MFCA, thereby reducing the costs of EPDs (Environmental Product
Declarations) and LCAs by 90 percent.
