Executive Summary
1mi1, also known internationally as EcoVane, is an open sustainability-management ecosystem and consulting solutions provider established in 2008. The company serves more than 4,000 enterprises and is SimaPro’s largest distributor in Asia. Its proprietary carbon-management SaaS platform supports an integrated workflow covering LCA modelling, product carbon footprints, EPD reporting and supply-chain carbon management.
Nanozeo is an authorized partner of 1mi1 for Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and supplier communities serving Walmart, Target and SSBTi partners. Nanozeo provides EcoVane software licensing, ecoinvent database procurement and localized technical support.
It is important to distinguish this relationship from Nanozeo’s separate representation of eFootprint, a platform from Yike Environmental Technology associated with Sichuan University. eFootprint includes the CLCD China Life Cycle Database. EcoVane and eFootprint are independent platforms and independent agency lines. Nanozeo obtains authorized databases and software tools through the appropriate rights holders and licenses them legally to supply-chain manufacturers for reporting and implementation.
Who Is 1mi1?
The company was founded by Bill Kung. Its team brings more than 20 years of practical experience in life cycle assessment and product carbon footprints, including participation in the development and review of green-product standards and carbon-footprint rules.
Its mission is straightforward: to help millions of enterprises move toward a more sustainable and lower-carbon future.

What Can the 1mi1 Platform Do?
The 1mi1 platform is an integrated SaaS solution for life cycle assessment and carbon management. Its capabilities can be grouped into six core areas.
1. Product Carbon Footprints and LCA Modelling
The platform supports product modelling based on life cycle assessment methodology. The same model can support product carbon footprints, water footprints, broader LCA analysis and the environmental indicators required for environmental product declarations.
It supports internationally recognized impact-assessment methods including IPCC 2013, CML 2013, PEF, ReCiPe and the US EPA’s TRACI methodology, together with other midpoint and endpoint methods.
Full life cycle modelling can cover raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, use and end-of-life stages. This allows companies to evaluate environmental impacts across the complete product system rather than focusing only on factory operations.
Industry-specific modelling methods help companies build proprietary material libraries and preconfigured baseline models. Models and bill-of-material data can be reused across similar products, improving analysis efficiency as the internal model library grows.
The platform combines international databases with high-quality local datasets. It supports the ecoinvent database for international product assessments and also provides access to China-specific data for companies that require regional representativeness.
LCA models can also be used for ecodesign. Companies can simulate alternative materials, processes, energy sources and end-of-life scenarios to identify practical carbon-reduction opportunities and support product carbon-neutrality strategies.
2. Organizational Carbon Accounting
After a company enters emissions-source data, the system can automatically aggregate results and update visual reports. It supports Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions management based on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064.
3. Green Design and Supply-Chain Management
The platform supports data collection from suppliers and controlled access to results. A supplier can disclose environmental indicators without revealing confidential production data, helping brand owners and manufacturers establish a trusted data channel for green procurement.
4. EPD Report Generation, Review and Publication
Built-in reporting templates support online editing and automated report generation. LCA results can be reviewed online by qualified professional organizations. Verified products may then be published through the 1mi1 portal and shared through QR codes and other digital formats.
5. Carbon Asset Management
The platform’s carbon-asset functions cover greenhouse-gas inventories, CCER project development, carbon trading and carbon-finance derivatives. This connects physical emissions management with the financial value of carbon assets.
6. 1mi1 Carbon Academy
The 1mi1 Carbon Academy provides professional training in LCA, product carbon footprints and EPDs, from introductory concepts to advanced implementation. Its curriculum combines methodology, international standards and hands-on platform exercises. 1mi1 and SSBTi have also collaborated on practical LCA training programs for supply-chain professionals.
Database and Software Capabilities
SimaPro’s Largest Distributor in Asia
1mi1 is SimaPro’s largest distributor and service provider in Asia. SimaPro is one of the world’s most widely used professional LCA tools and supports leading international databases including ecoinvent. It is widely applied in academic research, corporate product-carbon-footprint work and EPD verification.
1mi1’s Proprietary SaaS Platform
EcoVane’s proprietary SaaS platform supports product carbon footprints, organizational carbon accounting, EPD generation, green supply-chain management and carbon-asset management. It provides a closed-loop workflow from LCA modelling and data collection to reporting and management.
Database Coverage Available through 1mi1
• ecoinvent: a globally recognized LCA database available through authorized SimaPro licensing.
• ELCD and PEF resources: European life cycle and product environmental footprint datasets.
• Local datasets: more than 8,000 data items representing production and supply conditions in China, maintained and updated by the 1mi1 expert team.
Important Clarification: eFootprint, CLCD and CPCD
eFootprint, including the CLCD China Life Cycle Database and more than 40,000 LCA models, is a product of Yike Environmental Technology and is not part of 1mi1 or EcoVane.
CPCD, the China Product Carbon Footprint Database, can be licensed through 1mi1.
Nanozeo independently represents both 1mi1 and Yike Environmental Technology. The two agency lines are separate:
• 1mi1 / EcoVane: EcoVane SaaS, ecoinvent, CPCD and related authorized resources.
• Yike / eFootprint: eFootprint and the CLCD database.
Companies can procure the appropriate platform and datasets separately according to their methodology, geographic coverage and customer-reporting requirements.
1mi1’s Market Position
• In 2025, 1mi1 participated in building the Shanghai Industrial Carbon Management Public Service Platform, described as the first platform of its kind in China.
• It serves more than 4,000 enterprises across chemicals, automotive, electronics, packaging, construction, textiles and other sectors.
• Its team has worked with international companies including BASF and Apple on LCA methodology and implementation.
• It is a core technical participant in EPD China and contributes to the development of product environmental declaration systems.
• Through its strategic cooperation with SSBTi, 1mi1 leads LCA training and supply-chain carbon-management programs, while SSBTi supports international supply-chain connections and customized services for brands and manufacturers.
The Partnership between Nanozeo and 1mi1
