Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)
Does your company want to know the carbon impacts associated with its goods and services from origin to end of life so it can meet its climate commitments? An LCA will provide insights on how processes can be improved or reconfigured to minimise climate impacts.
What is an LCA?
A method of determining the impact of a product or service by calculating the carbon emissions of its complete life cycle from production to disposal.
The benefits of an LCA include:
​
-
Credibility for your sustainability claims
-
Identify opportunities to reduce the environmental impacts of your product or service
What is involved in an LCA?
An LCA looks at carbon emissions from all life stages of a product or service including:
​
-
Raw materials
-
Production and manufacturing
-
Transport
-
Use
-
End of life
