Life Cycle Assessment
What is Life Cycle Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product, process, or service over its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
LCA can assist businesses in determining the most significant environmental effects of their processes or goods and direct decision-making towards more environmentally friendly options.
How we may help?
- Goal definition and scope:
- Inventory analysis:
- Impact assessment:
- Interpretation:
- Improvement analysis:
We define the purpose and scope of the LCA study, including the boundaries of the system to be analyzed and the environmental impact categories to be assessed.
Over the course of the product's or process's entire life cycle, we collect data on the inputs and outputs. This covers trash production, energy use, material utilisation, and emissions to the air, water, and soil.
We assess the environmental impacts of the product or process using established impact categories, such as climate change, ozone depletion, and human toxicity.
Our experts analyze and interpret the LCA results, and draw conclusions about the environmental performance of the product or process.
We locate areas for development and create plans to lessen the environmental impact of the process or product. This could entail altering the design, the raw materials, or the manufacturing techniques.
LCA provides a holistic view of a product or process, helping to identify opportunities for improvement and support sustainable decision-making thereby helping businesses, governments, and organizations seeking to understand and reduce their environmental impact.
