Life Cycle Assessment (LCA - sometimes also referred to as Life Cycle Analysis) studies the environmental aspects and quantifies the potential impacts (positive or negative) of a product (or service) throughout its entire life: from the winning and processing of raw materials, through component production and product manufacture, to use and ultimate disposal.
LCA considers environmental impacts in a number of categories, such as resource use, climate change effect, water pollution, waste production, etc. ISO standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 set out conventions for conducting LCA. The environmental life cycle of products/services Conducting an LCA requires an examination of the extended product system – the network of activities that transforms raw resources into products, transports them to market and enables their use, then finally removes and treats items that are no longer wanted.
