Life cycle of products
We can help you make your products more efficient and environmentally friendly. Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a standard (CSN EN ISO 14001:2016) defining "the successive and interrelated stages of a product system (or service system), from extraction to final disposal."
The LCA includes seven stages:
-
Raw material extraction
-
Product design
-
Product manufacturing
-
Transportation/delivery
-
Product use
-
End-of-life processing
-
Final disposal (disposal)
Examples of life cycle stages that can usually be influenced:
-
Distribution/transport: energy consumption, emissions, noise pollution
-
Recycling/disposal: waste production
-
Distribution/packaging: energy consumption, waste production, impact on downstream transport
The LCA method allows the environmental impacts of a product or service to be assessed in terms of its entire life cycle, thus providing information for decision-making. LCA aims to identify and quantify all the environmental impacts associated with a product from the extraction of raw materials, its production, its use, to its end-of-life and disposal - at all stages of its life cycle.
