In connection with LCA, research (methodology and infrastructure) has progressed by many specialists and professors. What’s more, it has become useful in many industrial company or social fields. Therefore LCA is now very popular in Japan. At next stage, we think it is necessary that LCA should become more available for the designers and sales persons. They want to make use of LCA method for designing，and LCA results for environmental communication and marketing. For these purposes, the system is expected to calculate LCA easily and to obtain high reliability in society.
SimaPro is the most popular LCA software produced by Pre consultant in Netherlands, and Yamatake is the only dealer of it in Japan. In addition to automatic calculation LCI and LCIA, some features help their requests. These features include: easiness to use, availability of many kinds of European LCI-databases, visualized chart (which is easy to understand the results), high reliability for the result (uncertainly analysis is available in SimaPro6), and modeling of the disposal scenario in detail for recycle or reuse etc.
