Do You Know Your Product’s Environmental Impact Throughout Its Life Cycle?
Discover LCA

A t-shirt. Yes, you probably have dozens in your closet. From the cultivation of cotton in the field to the manufacturing process, from transportation to washing—and even disposal—every stage contributes to the environmental footprint of that t-shirt. This is where Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), steps in.

What is LCA?

LCA bir ürünün ham madde temininden bertarafına kadar olan tüm süreçlerinde çevresel etkilerini sunan bir analiz yöntemidir.

Why Is It Important?

We no longer have the luxury of turning a blind eye to our planet. Greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, energy use, and waste generation — all occur at various stages of a product’s life cycle. Through LCA:

• We identify which stages of the product's life cycle have the most significant environmental impacts.
• Product design is reimagined in line with sustainability criteria.
• Consumers become more informed, and brands embrace transparency.
• Companies develop strategies to reduce their carbon footprint and foster green innovation.

Who Uses It?

Today, LCA is widely applied across various industries, including automotive, textiles, packaging, food, energy, and construction. Conducted in accordance with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, LCA has become an essential tool for shaping corporate sustainability strategies.

Looking ahead, companies may be required to develop “product passports” under the European Green Deal. In this context, LCA serves as a fundamental building block of the process.

Every product we use or consume in daily life carries environmental impacts that are not always immediately visible. This is where LCA plays a critical role by revealing those hidden effects across the product’s entire life cycle.

The Language of the Future: Transparency and Sustainability

Today, the focus is not only on what a product is but also on how it is made. LCA empowers brands to stand out by substantiating claims of low environmental impact. For any organization aiming to earn consumer trust and demonstrate environmental responsibility, LCA is not just a tool but a strategic roadmap for research, development, and innovation.
