What is Life Cycle Analysis?

What is Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Why Is It Important?

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is, in short, a methodology that evaluates the environmental impact of a product, process, or service throughout its entire life cycle, including all stages from resource extraction and production to use and final disposal. LCA provides a comprehensive view of how a business’s activities affect the environment and where improvements can be made, as our goal is to reduce the carbon footprint and other environmental impacts.
