Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Sustainable Environmental Management

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a vital tool for environmental managers to evaluate the ecological impacts of products and processes. By effectively managing Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) impacts, LCA helps in minimizing the carbon footprint and promoting sustainability. The process involves careful incorporation of assumptions and data points, ensuring they align with the culture being analyzed. Successful implementation requires US-based data, standardized methodologies, and a streamlined approach, evolving into more data-driven decisions while considering regulatory, moral, and social factors.

  1. LCA Tools for Sustainability

  2. Environmental Managers use of LCA • Assist in managing EHS impacts of product & processes • Assumptions & data points must be built into the process • Outputs are relative, not exact • To be most effective the data & assumptions need to closely match culture one is measuring

  3. Use of LCA for Evaluating Design • Can be used as a tool to evaluate design phase product & process choices • To improve the utility need: • US based data • Standardization of tool methodology • Beginning w/ streamlined process then proceeding to more data driven choices • Input into key assumptions (regulatory, moral, & social
