Life cycle analysis: definition and examples 

Life cycle analysis: definition and examples

A life cycle analysis (LCA) is a technique used to assess the potential environmental impacts associated with a product system. The notion of "product system" means that this analysis does not aim to assess the environmental impact of a product but of the service it renders; it's the functional unit. For example, a life cycle analysis does not aim to study the impact of a cotton tee-shirt but the impact of a cotton tee-shirt which is worn 50 times over one year.

In this cheat sheet, discover examples of life cycle analyses for various products in order to understand which stages have the biggest impact on the value chain.
