Life Cycle Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a comprehensive methodology that enables industries, manufacturers, and design teams to evaluate the environmental impacts of products, processes, or services across their entire life cycle from raw material extraction and production to use and end-of-life. By providing a data-driven view of environmental performance, LCA helps identify hotspots for improvement, supports sustainable design and innovation, and guides process optimization to reduce resource use, emissions, and waste.
It also plays a vital role in meeting regulatory requirements, achieving sustainability certifications, and substantiating environmental claims with credible evidence. For businesses and innovation teams, LCA offers a strategic foundation for aligning development with environmental goals, enhancing transparency, and strengthening market competitiveness in an increasingly sustainability-conscious world.
