Life Cycle Assessment. the process of compiling and evaluating the inputs and outputs and potential environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle from cradle to grave, that is, at all stages from resources, materials and energy inputs, through production processes, to outputs and their distribution, use and eventual disposal (as products, by-products, wastes or emissions).

Life cycle assessment. a quantification of the level of energy and raw materials used as well as the solid, liquid and gaseous wastes produced at every stage of a product's life or process. LCA can be conducted for a whole process or for part of a process. Conducting an LCA can be complicated, therefore it is important to set boundaries for the study.

Life-Cycle Assessment An LCA has three main elements: Investigation of emissions from and consumption of resources for manufacture and use of a product from ³cradle to grave², i.e. from recovery of the raw materials to production and use of the product until it is disposed of as waste. Assessment of derived environmental impacts. Assessment of opportunities to implement environmental improvements in the production system. The investigation phase is called a Life-Cycle Inventory (LCI). The results of an LCI are an environmental profile of the product which states how and how much the environment is affected by manufacture and use of one unit of the product.

Life Cycle Analyses is a scientific method to investigate the impact of a material - or a method - on the environment during its whole life, in a certain application, from the use of raw materials and energy until the deposit after use. In that way the environmental impact of different materials (e.g. PVC, PET and glass) or different methods (e.g. one-way and return) for the same purpose (e.g. mineral water packaging) can be compared.

Life Cycle Assessment. A management tool for appraising and quantifying the total lifetime environmental impact of a product or activity, by analyzing the entire life cycle of the materials, processes, products, technologies, services or activities it involves. Life Cycle Assessment has three components â€“ inventory analysis, impact analysis and improvement analysis.

Life Cycle Assessment. Life cycle assessment is a specific method for systematically identifying, quantifying and assessing inputs and outputs (i.e. sources of environmental impact) throughout a product's lifecycle.

life cycle analysis. A quantitative approach that assess a product's impact on the environment throughout its life. LCA attempts to quantify what comes in and what goes out of a product from â€œcradle to grave,â€ including the energy and material associated with materials extraction, product manufacture and assembly, distribution, use and disposal and the environmental emissions that result. LCA applications are governed by the ISO 14040 series of standards ( http://www.iso.org).
