In the context of global environmental challenges and the need for more sustainable production systems, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the worldwide standard and tool for analysing the environmental impact of products and services. It allows for quantifying all environmental impacts along the production chain in order to identify where to change practices to reduce impacts.

 

LCA is recommended by the European Commission for all environmental footprints as well as by international organizations such as UN Environment.
