Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) Services: Measuring Environmental Impact at Every Stage

30 Apr, 2025 | By Admin

Understanding the full environmental impact of a product or process is essential for making informed, sustainable decisions. Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool that evaluates the environmental effects associated with all stages of a product's life — from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
 

What is Lifecycle Assessment (LCA)?

LCA is a systematic method for assessing environmental impacts across the entire lifecycle of a product, process, or service. It considers:

  • Raw material extraction
  • Manufacturing and processing
  • Distribution and transportation
  • Usage
  • Disposal or recycling

The goal is to provide a holistic view of environmental performance, helping organizations make data-driven decisions that reduce their ecological footprint.
 

Key Benefits of LCA

  • Identify Hotspots: Pinpoint stages with the highest environmental impact.
  • Support Eco-Design: Develop more sustainable products by understanding material and energy flows.
  • Enhance Transparency: Demonstrate environmental responsibility to consumers, investors, and regulators.
  • Comply with Standards: Align with ISO 14040/14044 and support Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
