World leading sustainability company PE INTERNATIONAL announced today it has joined forces with Outotec Oyj the global leader in minerals and metals processing technology to jointly develop a new software offering and creating a Best Available Technology (BAT), Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database.

These scenarios will be based  on the knowledge of state-of-the-art and future metal technologies and processes and their associated  environmental impact.


A new software offering between PE INTERNATIONAL’s leading GaBi 5 product sustainability tool and the Finnish company’s HSC thermochemical software will allow users to easily develop product modeling scenarios from a life cycle perspective. In addition links to a constantly updated, easily accessible Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database on current and best available technology will enable them to deliver more sustainable yet price-competitive products.
