Life Cycle Assessment and Product Carbon Footprint

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) serves as a basis for developing a baseline of environmental impacts, identifying environmental hotspots, and as a decision-making tool to enhance the new product development process. 
A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) utilizes LCA methodology to quantify all the GHG emissions generated throughout a product's life cycle from raw material extraction and manufacturing to transportation, usage, and disposal.
