Atmospheric Life Cycle Assessment

Atmospheric Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impact of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, focusing on emissions released into the atmosphere. It considers stages like material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal, measuring factors such as greenhouse gases, air pollutants, and their effects on climate and health. By analyzing these emissions, atmospheric LCA helps identify key impact areas and informs strategies to reduce environmental footprints. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how all stages of a product’s life contribute to atmospheric pollution, supporting more sustainable decision-making.
