Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental burden associated with a product, process, or activity by identifying and quantifying the energy and materials used and wastes released to the environment. The aim is to assess the overall impact on the environment, and to identify and evaluate opportunities to effect improvements.
Assessments can include the entire life cycle from extraction to end use and recycling or final disposal; or can be limited to defined sections such as the manufacture or the raw material, ending at the ‘gate’ of the final product manufacturer.
