The purpose of a life cycle assessment is to evaluate the entire life cycle of a product from the extraction and production of raw materials through energy production and material production to application, waste treatment and final disposal.
The findings on environmental impacts indicate your consumption of resources, allowing the potential for financial savings to be derived.
