Sustainability consulting
Do you need a partner who speaks both engineering and sustainability? Our team combines decades of technical consulting and design expertise with cross-disciplinary knowledge, so we can identify, measure, and act on sustainability impacts with technical precision.
We integrate decades of engineering with multidisciplinary expertise to identify, measure, and implement sustainability impacts. Our consulting helps you make decisions that are both sustainable and competitive – for new projects and existing industrial assets. Holistic sustainability means managing impact at every level, and that’s where we guide you.
Why Elomatic?
- Deep technical understanding: Complex industrial processes and products are our territory. We translate technical detail into concrete sustainability impacts, accurately and without oversimplification.
- Cross-disciplinary expertise: Designers, process engineers, environmental specialists, and sustainability consultants sit at the same table. That is what makes the analysis actionable.
- Ready to implement: Sustainability targets do not stop at the report. We turn them into practical design decisions: optimizations, material loops, and circular economy solutions.
- EIA and regulatory expertise: Permitting and EIA processes are complex. We support you through them and help you meet current and future regulatory requirements. Read more about our EIA services »
- Data and transparency: Sustainability impacts become numbers, connected to financial metrics, so priorities are grounded in evidence rather than assumption.
How we support you
Defining the sustainability scope
Every project starts with the right questions: what matters, and how much? We identify the key sustainability topics in your project and align your targets with the relevant benchmark levels.
Sustainable engineering choices
Sustainability built into the design phase does more than meet targets. It improves quality, strengthens risk management, makes the plant or product more efficient and enables long‑term efficiency throughout both product and facility lifecycles.
Comparing sustainable alternatives
Turning sustainability impacts into financial metrics changes how decisions get made. It helps you manage investment payback, lifecycle costs, and risk, and makes sustainability management something you can actually steer.
What we can optimize:
- Energy
- Water
- Material use and material selection
- Chemicals and hazardous substances
- Waste and side streams
- Emissions
- Environmental impacts
What we deliver:
- Concrete cost savings through resource balance optimization
- Risk management for long-term investments across the full value chain
- Reliable sustainability data to meet customer requirements and support decision-making
- A stronger competitive position in a changing market
- A sustainable lifecycle that holds up decades from now
Our services
Every engagement starts with understanding your goals and setting a clear target level. From there, we identify the technologies, materials, and processes that have the greatest impact on sustainability and regulatory compliance. Early technical analysis is where the value compounds: it strengthens risk management, surfaces development opportunities, and ensures you are ahead of future requirements, not catching up to them.
Value chain sustainability analysis
We help you recognize risks and opportunities across your value chain.
Sustainability impacts do not stop at your factory gate. We trace the most significant environmental and human rights issues across the full value chain, from raw materials and supply chains through to product use. Alternative materials and products get evaluated too, including their effects on ecosystems, climate, and local communities.
Full lifecycle review of your products, equipment, and plants is within our scope. Transparent analysis supports risk management, compliance with modern standards, and meeting what your customers increasingly expect.
Where impacts fall outside your direct control, we help you design effective measures to reduce and compensate for them.
Technical sustainability review
Technical sustainability assessments help convert your strategic objectives into concrete steps and inform your investment decisions.
The review pinpoints where design and process decisions have the most leverage. We examine resource balances, side streams, and critical substances and chemicals. We identify the development areas most relevant for regulatory compliance and map the best available technologies (BAT).
Sustainability impacts get quantified from early design-phase data and linked transparently to product information. From that, we build roadmaps toward your targets.
Connect the sustainability figures to financial metrics and priorities become clear. The value of your investments rests on facts, not assumptions, and significant long-term cost savings often follow.
Sustainable design
Building sustainability into design prevents expensive modifications down the line and ensures your product or facility meets tomorrow’s standards.
In plant design, we optimize energy, emissions, and resource balances; plan water cycles and the use of waste and side streams; and develop circular economy solutions that improve the sustainability of your processes.
Product design gets the same treatment: full lifecycle environmental impacts, material efficiency, repairability, and recyclability, plus support for renewable and low-emission materials.
Our sustainability consultants work alongside designers so that targets translate into real decisions, not just documentation. The cross-disciplinary team handles targeted analyses too, from groundwater assessments to Emission Trading System (ETS) audits.
The technical sustainability review gives the design phase its backbone. It is the reference point that keeps sustainable choices consistent and ensures the benefits are realized in practice.
Environmental consulting
We support you in meeting compliance requirements through our environmental consulting expertise.
In addition to sustainability consulting, we provide expertise in regulatory environmental compliance. Through our subsidiary Nomine Consult, our services include environmental impact assessments, environmental permitting, carbon footprint analysis, emissions trading consulting, sustainability criteria development, emissions calculations, environmental audits, biodiversity studies, and noise, air pollution, and odor assessments.

Biolan’s new Biofiber Factory produces ecological wood fiber to replace peat in substrate and bulking products
Finnish ecological gardening and environmental product company Biolan has invested in a new type of biomaterial processing plant in Eura, Finland. The new plant produces wood fiber from forest industry side streams that can be used to replace peat in its substrate and bulking products. Developing the advanced plant required not only solid design expertise but also a bold and open-minded approach to innovation.

Levels of Sustainability
Sustainability has become a frequent topic in corporate discussions. However, there are clearly different levels of sustainability, ranging from ‘weak’ to ‘strong’, based on the actions taken by organizations. But what actions and mindsets define these different levels? And most importantly, what must we do to reach the strongest level?
