Key takeaways from Ten Golden Rules of LCA
- There are no ‘green products’ — only ‘greener’ or ‘more sustainable’. This is an important distinction as all products have some level of impact.
- Start by looking at what you want to do with LCA; consider the application of the tool and its uses before starting an LCA study.
- Completing an LCA can also help to inform strategic decision-making and create business value.
- One of the most critical phases of an LCA is defining the goal and scope.
- Although it is often thought of as linear, LCA complements the circular economy.
