“Every LCA project is unique. Whether we make an LCA of sheet piles, computer mouses or measure the entire environmental performance of a company, we are confident that we can always find a solution by cooperation. One of the things that all LCA projects have in common is that they always start with a (digital) cup of coffee!”
WHAT IS A LIFE CYCLE Assessment?
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) maps the environmental impact of a product or an organization. This environmental impact is measured in different categories such as climate warming potential, ozone depletion, eco- or human toxicological effects, or land-use change. This analysis concerns the entire life cycle of a product, including the method of production, the effects during use, and the waste processing of the product. A simple example of what can be done with the data from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the substantiation for the choice between plastic, paper, or glass cups at a festival. Here you find our LCA example of a comparison between reading on a e-reader and a regular book.
