Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) play an important role in understanding and managing sustainability. LCA is a detailed method used to study the environmental impact of a product, process, or service throughout its entire life—from raw material extraction to manufacturing, transportation, use, and finally, disposal. It offers a full view of the environmental effects, helping people make informed, eco-friendly choices.
To make sure my assessments are accurate and trustworthy, I follow well-known global standards like ISO 14040/44 and PAS 2050. These standards provide clear rules and guidelines, helping me maintain quality, consistency, and reliability in my LCA work.
I use OpenLCA, an open-source software, as my main tool for performing these assessments. OpenLCA allows me to carry out complex environmental studies in a clear and efficient way. Its powerful features and user-friendly design help me stay focused on delivering high-quality results.
So, what do you get from an LCA? You get a wide range of data about how resources are used and what environmental impacts are caused. This includes information about energy use, carbon emissions, water usage, and more. With these insights, I can help businesses and organizations improve their processes, reduce harm to the environment, and make smart decisions that support sustainability goals.
