What is an LCA?
LCA is an internationally-recognised tool used to quantify environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle.
Through a systems perspective, LCA tools help businesses understand the movement of energy and matter involved in a product system. Organisations can use LCAs to evaluate their performance against a range of environmental indicators such as climate change, ozone depletion and marine toxicity.
Why is an LCA useful to me?
LCA studies have diverse applications. They can be used for strategic planning, process improvement, green procurement or to demonstrate product claims. This practical course will help you understand the LCA principles, methodology, data requirements and communication, ensuring the longevity of your product range.
