D&T Graphics
LCA is a technique to assess environmental impacts
associated with all the stages of a product's life from-cradle-to-
grave
What does this mean in Graphics terms?
• Think about the life-cycle of a graphic product…such as a ‘Business card’
• What is its life expectancy?
• How many should be made?
• What material should it be printed onto?
• How much ink should be used?
• Should it be laminated to extend its life-span?
• Can it be recycled? How?
