Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): An essential eco-design tool

Life cycle assessment, or LCA, is a crucial element of eco-design. This method makes it possible to assess a product’s environmental impact throughout its life cycle. At Altyor, we carry out comprehensive LCAs to guide our eco-design decisions.

Why is LCA important in eco-design?

1. Global vision: LCA provides a global view of environmental impact, essential for effective eco-design.
2. Identification of critical points: This enables us to target those aspects of the product requiring particular attention in terms of eco-design.
3. Comparing solutions: LCA helps to compare different eco-design options and choose the most efficient one.
4. Continuous improvement: Using LCA, companies can continually refine their eco-design strategies.

How do you perform a life cycle assessment (LCA)?

We can help you calculate and analyze your product’s ecological footprint using LCA.
Life cycle assessment is the starting point for understanding your product’s impact on the environment. To help you understand the ins and outs of LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), we’ve put together 14 answers that will shed some light on the subject.
