According to the Environmental Encyclopedic Dictionary, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a product refers to the evaluation and analysis of the environmental consequences of the product’s actions. The analysis tracks the product from the extraction and processing of raw materials, through all its production phases, transport and distribution, use – profitability, maintenance, and recycling, and extends to its final disposal or reintegration into the environment.

Thus, in this webinar, we will explore the importance of LCA in today’s corporate landscape, with a focus mainly on the legislative aspect. It is crucial for every company to incorporate LCA practices in order to make sustainable decisions and comply with environmental regulations.

Starting with an introduction to LCA, we will break down the key concepts and methodologies behind this powerful tool, so that we can understand the fundamental principles of assessing the environmental impact of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to the end of its life span.

As the state of the planet deteriorates at an alarming rate, it is more important than ever to understand how LCA is useful and how this tool is used to increase transparency, accountability, and responsibility among companies.
