BBC offers comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) services, providing a holistic view of a product’s environmental footprint, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Our experts conduct thorough LCA studies, develop strategies to reduce environmental impact, and generate LCA reports that are widely accepted for verification of Environmental product Declarations (EPDs).
LCA helps organisations to gain valuable insights into the environmental footprint of their products or services. This knowledge empowers them to make informed decisions regarding design, production, and consumption practices, fostering a more sustainable approach to business operations.
What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a comprehensive methodology that offers a detailed examination of the environmental impacts associated with products or services throughout their entire life cycle. This encompasses various stages, including the extraction of raw materials, manufacturing processes, transportation logistics, product usage, and ultimately, end-of-life disposal.
Why is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Important?
LCA provides a holistic view of a product’s environmental impact which enables businesses to identify areas for improvement, including reducing their carbon footprint, and gain a competitive edge.
LCA offers numerous benefits to organisations, including:
- Assist organisations in complying with environmental regulations and standards, such as ISO 14040 and ISO 14025;
- Differentiate themselves in the marketplace and attract environmentally conscious customers;
- Identify potential environmental risks associated with products, allowing organisations to take proactive measures to mitigate them; and
- Drive innovation by encouraging the development of more sustainable products and processes.
