SUSTAINABILITY TRANSITION
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an internationally standardized method (ISO 14040:2006, ISO 14044:2018) for analyzing the environmental and health impacts of a product or process. It evaluates resource consumption and emissions across the product’s entire life cycle, from raw material acquisition to manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal (cradle-to-grave approach). However, in scientific research, a “cradle-to-gate” approach is often used, focusing only on raw materials and energy consumption, excluding the use and disposal phases.
