ACV (Analysis of Life Cycle)

Analysis of Life Cycle (ACV) is a method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire lifespan—from raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution, use, to disposal or recycling. It helps identify areas where environmental impact can be reduced and ensures comprehensive assessment beyond just the manufacturing stage. By considering each phase, ACV provides a holistic view, guiding better decision-making for sustainable practices and product design, ultimately aiming to minimize environmental footprint across the product’s entire life cycle.
