Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the process of evaluating the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction and production to use and disposal. It includes defining the study’s goal and scope, inventorying inputs and outputs, assessing environmental impacts, and interpreting results. LCA is an essential tool for assessing sustainability, helping identify opportunities for reducing environmental impacts such as resource consumption, emissions, and waste generation. It allows for comparing the environmental performance of different products or processes, making it valuable in industries like manufacturing, food, and construction.
