Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic approach that evaluates the environmental impacts of a product, process, or service over its entire life cycle. This includes all stages from raw material extraction, production, use, and disposal. LCA takes into account factors such as energy consumption, resource depletion, emissions to air, water, and soil, as well as waste generation. The goal of LCA is to provide a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the environmental impacts of a product or process, allowing for informed decision-making and the identification of opportunities for improvement. LCA can be used to compare different products or processes, identify hotspots for environmental impact, and optimize resource use. LCA is a widely used tool in sustainability and environmental management, helping companies, governments, and consumers to make more environmentally conscious decisions and reduce their overall environmental footprint.
