How Can Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Aid in Sustainable Design?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. By assessing factors such as raw material extraction, production, transportation, use, and disposal, LCA helps identify areas where improvements can be made to reduce ecological and health impacts. This comprehensive analysis aids designers in making informed decisions about materials and processes, ensuring a more sustainable product design.
