Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the tools that enables companies to understand the environmental impact of their products, develop strategies to reduce emissions throughout the production process and meet global sustainability goals.
LCA is a method of analysis that assesses the environmental impact, resource use efficiency and waste generation of a product's entire life cycle, from raw material sourcing to disposal.
The LCA study calculates and reports the environmental impacts and pollution that occur throughout the entire life cycle of a product or service, from production to consumption and disposal, i.e. from cradle to grave, in accordance with ISO 14040/44 standards.
LCA Preparation Process
1. Product Identification
In the first stage, the products to be LCA assessed are identified. The raw materials, production process and end-of-life scenarios of the product are determined as a result of a detailed examination.
2. Data Collection
At this stage, which is also called Life Cycle Inventory, the data required for the LCA assessment are collected from the organisation with the data request templates prepared by Greenlife Consulting. Greenlife team provides all necessary support for the supply and transfer of data to the data request template.
3. LCA Analysis and Reporting
At this stage, LCA analysis is completed with SimaPro software, which is the most valid software in the world specialised for LCA, with the data provided for the product determined for analysis. The completed analysis results are reported in accordance with ISO 14040/44 standards.
What are the Advantages of LCA Study?
LCA makes it possible to compare the environmental impact of products and easily identify areas for improvement in the production process.
LCA enables companies to identify potential environmental risks while developing their sustainability strategies.
Companies increase their brand value by demonstrating their commitment to sustainability through LCA.
LCA gives companies a competitive advantage. As environmental awareness increases, so does the demand for environmentally friendly products. In this direction, LCA study shows that the product is environmentally friendly and provides competitive advantage.
At Greenlife Consulting we use SimaPro, one of the world's leading LCA software, in our LCA studies. We help companies to determine their environmental impact throughout their production processes and help companies to take strong and reliable steps on their sustainability journey.
