What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)? LCA is a methodology for evaluating the environmental impacts of a product or service across its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction to end of life.
Why does it matter?
LCA provides a data-driven foundation for decision-making, helping to avoid greenwashing and directing investment toward the most impactful improvements.
