Overview
Sustainable consumption and production, the circular economy and carbon accounting … these topics are increasingly on the agenda for decision-makers. They all utilise a life cycle perspective to reconsider economic activities through a “cradle to grave” lens, meaning from the extraction of raw materials through manufacture, distribution, use and on to final end-of-life management.
The quantitative analytical tool that supports this type of environmental management is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA methodology also forms the basis of related approaches such as carbon and water footprinting.
