What is the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in PCF?
LCA is a methodology used to evaluate environmental impacts, including carbon footprints, across a product’s lifecycle.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a structured approach for quantifying environmental impacts, including carbon footprints, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. LCA provides a comprehensive view of how different stages of production contribute to total emissions and helps identify opportunities for improvement. PCF is a subset of LCA, focusing specifically on carbon emissions rather than other environmental factors like water usage or toxicity. sustamize integrates LCA-based methodologies to ensure that businesses receive accurate, lifecycle-based carbon footprint calculations.
