LCA Basic

Learn the fundamentals of Life Cycle Assessment for environmental impact analysis.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful method for evaluating the environmental impacts of a product or service from raw material extraction to end-of-life. This course introduces the four main phases: Goal & Scope Definition, Life Cycle Inventory (LCI), Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), and Interpretation. Understand how LCA helps identify environmental hotspots, guides sustainable production, informs stakeholders, and supports both Cradle-to-Grave and Cradle-to-Cradle circular economy models.
