The challenges of a life cycle assessment

Any eco-responsible approach to your product must begin with an analysis of its real impact: is it transport, production, your packaging, the materials you use? Answering these questions will enable you to implement the most effective actions possible. It’s this life-cycle analysis that will enable you to do just that. It’s a multi-criteria approach that aims to quantify and list all the material and energy flows involved in the life of a product.

But how? What data will be extracted? What actions can be taken as a result? In this guide, our experts have answered the most important questions for understanding life cycle analysis. Here are some of the questions you may find :

What standards govern life cycle assessment?

What are the main stages in an LCA?

What does the life cycle inventory include?

What environmental indicators are assessed?

What tools and resources?

What do the results look like?

How do you analyze the results?

What actions can be taken as a result?
