What is LCA – Life Cycle Assessment?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic, science-based methodology used to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s lifecycle—from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal or recycling. This comprehensive approach provides a complete picture of a product’s environmental footprint, identifying opportunities for improvement and supporting sustainable decision-making.
LCA provides a holistic view that prevents sub-optimization where improvements in one area might inadvertently cause greater harm in another. By analyzing every stage, organizations can identify the most significant environmental impacts—or “hotspots”—and focus their sustainability efforts where they matter most.
Benefits of Life Cycle Assessment for Your Business
- Environmental Hotspot Identification: Pinpoint stages with the highest environmental impact for targeted improvement.
- Product Innovation: Support Eco-design initiatives and material selection for sustainable products.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meet Environmental reporting requirements and support certification processes.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meet Environmental reporting requirements and support certification processes.
Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Approaches
We offer multiple LCA approaches tailored to your specific requirements:
- Cradle-to-Grave: Analysis from raw material extraction through production, use, and end-of-life disposal or recycling.
- Cradle-to-Gate: Evaluation from raw material extraction to factory gate, before distribution to consumers.
- Gate-to-Gate: Targeted analysis of a specific process within the production chain for optimal efficiency improvements.
- Cradle-to-Cradle: Circular economy-focused approach that treats end-of-life as the beginning of a new production cycle.
- Well-to-Wheel: Transportation-specific analysis examining environmental impacts from fuel extraction to vehicle operation.
