A life-cycle analysis (LCA) is a systematic and comprehensive method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product, service, or system from its inception to its end-of-life. Undertaking a comprehensive LCA requires a detailed examination of energy usage, upstream farm or raw material extraction inputs, and processing inputs along with all outputs throughout the various life-cycle stages including coproducts and waste.

LCAs typically assess the global warming potential, or carbon footprint, of a functional unit but can also encompass other impact categories such as land use and land use change, eutrophication, acidification, and water use, among others.

As climate regulations and tax credits evolve, consumer preferences shift, and opportunities in voluntary carbon markets emerge, LCAs have become the cornerstone of these developments. Understanding and implementing LCAs is crucial for businesses to stay ahead in these changing times.

EcoEngineers is an industry leader in performing LCAs, with a team of renowned scientists
performing more than 1,000 carbon LCAs since 2015. Combined with our expertise in EcoUniversity, we created the LCA Academy to help our clients meet the ever-increasing demand for LCAs, while reducing their environmental impact and increasing profitability.
