Inèdit Innovació

What Inèdit Innovació does

Inèdit Innovació S.L. is a Barcelona-based eco-innovation consultancy founded in 2009 as a spin-off from ICTA-UAB (Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, Autonomous University of Barcelona) by researchers recognized as pioneers in industrial ecology, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and ecodesign. The company delivers four main service lines — environmental impact quantification, ecodesign of products and services, sustainable business strategy, and circular territory consulting — to enterprises and public administrations primarily in Catalonia and Spain. Its methodology stack spans ISO 14040/14067, GHG Protocol, ISO 14046, Product Environmental Footprint (PEF), and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), serving clients in beverages (Damm), automotive (SEAT & CUPRA), cement (IECA), government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Agència de Residus de Catalunya), and other regulated sectors.

The company's core technology asset is èdit, a SaaS environmental quantification platform with over 20,000 emission factor references sourced from Ecoinvent, Agribalyse, Exiobase, OCCC, MITERD, and DEFRA, integrating with ERP and environmental management systems via API. A vertical-specific extension, Packimpact (launched 2023, updated 2024), targets the Catalan packaging sector under PPWR-driven demand. The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and operates from offices in Barcelona, Tarragona (L'Ametlla de Mar), and Zaragoza. Over 17 years it has accumulated 600+ clients and executes 150+ projects annually, with an 82% client retention rate and a 10-year consecutive engagement with Agència de Residus de Catalunya covering 947 municipalities.

Commercially, Inèdit runs a hybrid revenue model: engagement-based sustainability and circular-economy consulting on the services side, and quote-based annual subscriptions for èdit on the software side. Go-to-market is sales-led and content-driven — direct enterprise engagement supplemented by regulatory-focused thought leadership, LinkedIn presence, and a multilingual (Català/Spanish/English) website. Distribution channels include direct sales, chamber-of-commerce partnerships (notably Zaragoza), and a formal sister-organization relationship with Circle Economy (Amsterdam) supporting international circular-economy mandates. Ownership remains private and undisclosed beyond the founding team, with no external funding events reported.
