Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

►Documents the Energy/CO2 embedded within a

product

– Scope 1, 2 & 3

– We analyze each product

from raw material to final end use and disposal/

reuse/recycle









Why would a company need an LCA?

► Overall – What’s driving their carbon footprint?

► Marketing – Competitive advantage?

► Design - Changes to make product more environmentally

friendly?

► Benchmarking across an industry or across divisions of a corporation - Who is best/worst; where are they?

► Year-to-year tracking of environmental performance - Are

they getting better or worse?

► Benchmarking between industries - Can product/service

accomplish the same goals with lower environmental impact?

► Policy – Where can they change procedures to get biggest

benefit?
