MEASUREMENT OF PRODUCT IMPACT

Life Cycle Assessment – LCA(ISO 14040 series) a methodology/tool for LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS

A Life Cycle Assessment is defined by ISO 14040 as:“Compilation and evaluations of the inputs, outputs and potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle”
