The life cycle assessment assures the concept of sustainability measurable by a holistic analysis.
Life Cycle Assessment studies are conducting according to guidelines stated in ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards globally. The concept of Life Cycle Assessment is to evaluate the impacts from any given material or activity which is gathered of raw materials from the nature until where all residuals are returned to the earth. Life Cycle Assessment is a tool to assess the environmental impacts and resources used throughout a product's life cycle from raw material acquisition, via production and use phases, to waste management.
By contrast with Corporate Carbon Footprint, an LCA takes into consideration all operations, GHGs and environmental impacts which are not controlled by the commissioning company as well. This includes supply chain, distribution and use of a products and end-of-life considering waste managements, recycle and disposal.
An LCA contributes and improves the added value of the products and services.
