Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Service

Unlocking Sustainability Potential: Gain insights to reduce environmental impacts with your products through LCA.

Business Challenges

In today's increasingly eco-conscious world, businesses face the challenge of understanding and managing their environmental impact. Regulatory responsibilities, evolving consumer expectations, and the need for sustainable practices require a comprehensive evaluation of a product or process throughout its life cycle. Bureau Veritas offers a holistic life cycle assessment (LCA) service to address these challenges.

What is LCA?

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) also known as life cycle analysis is a recognized methodology used to evaluate environmental impacts at each stage of a product's or process's life cycle. It provides a quantitative analysis of resource consumption, energy usage, waste generation, and emissions, helping businesses identify hotspots and areas for improvement. LCA considers the entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal, offering a comprehensive view of the product's environmental footprint.



 

LCA has a wide utility 

It can be utilized by anyone in the supply chain (from retailers to manufacturers) and is applicable to all product categories (Softlines, Hardlines, Electrical & Electronics, Toys). It is even applicable to packaging items, raw materials, components and trims.
