What is the Life Cycle Assessment?

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method of evaluating the environmental impact of products or services across their 'lifecycle'.

What does LCA measure?

LCA measures the environmental impact of products by analysing all the inputs (ie raw materials, water, energy) and outputs (ie the end product, waste, emissions) that occur as a result of that product being manufactured, transported, 'built' or assembled, used and maintained, and eventually, disposed of.
