Life Cycle Assessment
A systematic set of procedures for compiling and examining the inputs and outputs of materials and energy and the associated environmental impacts directly attributable to the functioning of a product or service system throughout its life cycle.
Life Cycle
Consecutive and interlinked stages of a product or service system, from the extraction of natural resources to the final disposal.
By integrating the life cycle perspective in overall management and bringing product and process development in a more sustainable direction, the business can harvest the benefits of environmental, occupational health and safety, risk and quality management, as well as developing and applying cleaner process and product options. Incorporating life cycle and sustainability management will improve image and brand value for both world market players as well as smaller suppliers and producers.
