• Cradle to grave: are the analyses for all the emissions of a product’s life cycle, with the end goal of reclaiming those emissions. The process involves the extraction and processing of materials, manufacturing, production, usage, service and distribution, and disposal.

• Cradle to Gate: refers to the carbon impact of a product from the moment it is extracted to the factory gate for production. Some companies use cradle-to-gate to measure because they’ve designed a product that can be easily recycled or composted.

Why is LCA Necessary?

LCAs are a mandatory part of many of the new laws and policies. Governments increasingly recognize the need to legislate to reduce operational and embodied carbon emissions, which are disastrous for the environment. An LCA allows you to document and explain how your product or service impacts the environment. Results obtained via an LCA can be trusted as they are based on international standards.

The LCA for your industry and product can assist you in moving forward with a reduction in emissions and maintaining sustainability. It provides a detailed report for decision-making regarding carbon footprints and sustainability. It is used in product research and development when the environmental footprint is essential to a product’s future marketing or cost structure. LCA is mandatory for pesticide and chemical industries. As per law, it is not compulsory for other industries.

Which are the Set of Standards for LCA?

  • ISO 14040 is the comprehensive standard with all four phases of LCA. There are four more standards supplementing ISO 14040.
  • ISO 14041 deals with goal and scope definition and life cycle inventory methods
  • ISO 14042 deals with life cycle impact assessment methods
  • ISO 14043 life cycle interpretation methods
  • ISO 14044 specifies requirements and provides guidelines for life cycle assessment (LCA)
