Two LCA Deadlines — One Mandatory, One That Pays You Back

December 31, 2026
— Required

Mandatory life cycle evaluations on your top 1% of covered products. Required for all Top 25 producers under ORS 459A.944(2). Planet FWD delivers these in 8 weeks or less with built-in third-party review — at roughly half the cost of traditional consultants.

May 31, 2026 — Optional, but valuable

Covers Bonus A, B, and C. Your mandatory SKUs are restricted from Bonus A — which is why this track requires separate SKUs. SKUs outside your mandatory top 1% can qualify for up to $200,000 in annual fee reductions through Oregon's eco-modulation bonus program. Learn how the bonus program works →

"The two tracks don't overlap. Companies treating this as one compliance exercise are leaving significant savings on the table."

Straight from our Head of Science & Strategy

Miranda Gorman, Ph.D. explains how eco-modulation works for Top 25 producers.

Before you scope your December 31 program, let us look at your SKU batch strategy first.

How you batch your SKUs for LCA submission has a direct impact on cost. One large producer originally scoped 21 SKU batches for their mandatory program. After our assessment, we got them to 19 — saving over $175K before a contract was signed. The assessment is free, takes one call, and gives your team a clear picture of what your LCA program should cost before you commit to anything.

Your ISO-Compliant LCA doesn't stop working after the 2026 deadlines.

Oregon requires a packaging LCA for eco-modulation. But the data collection and methodology work is also the foundation for a full product LCA — and doing both together saves meaningful time and cost versus running them separately. Your mandatory December 31 LCAs are restricted from Bonus A — but they qualify for Bonuses B and C by demonstrating substantial impact reduction. Read the full breakdown of all three bonuses →

Eco-Modulation
Bonus B & C

Your mandatory December 31 LCAs are restricted from Bonus A — but they qualify for Bonuses B and C by demonstrating substantial impact reduction over time. Planet FWD manages both tracks in one system.

Future State Compliance

California and Colorado are rolling out similar LCA requirements. Brands building their LCA library now will be ready when those deadlines hit.

Sustainability Claims
& Marketing

Verified, ISO-compliant LCA data backs up product-level sustainability claims with retailers, investors, and consumers.

Scope 3 Reporting
