Life Cycle Assessment
The environmental performance of a product or service is increasingly being factored into supplier selection criteria.
Carrying out a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) consists in evaluating the environmental impacts of a product or service at each stage of its life cycle. The analysis covers the entire value chain, from creation to the end of life, and makes it possible to assign an overall environmental score.Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) consiste à évaluer les impacts environnementaux d’un produit ou d’un service à chaque étape de son cycle de vie. L’analyse couvre l’ensemble de la chaîne de valeur, de la création à la fin de vie, et permet d’attribuer un score environnemental global.
By better understanding these impacts, companies can adopt an eco-design approach, improve their manufacturing processes and meet consumer requirements and current standards.démarche d’éco-conception, améliorer leurs processus de fabrication et répondre aux exigences des consommateurs et aux normes en vigueur.
The 5 lifecycle stages evaluated
Raw material extraction
Analysis of the impacts associated with the extraction and processing of natural resources used in the product.
Production
Study of the impacts related to product manufacturing and assembly within production processes.
Distribution
Accounting for emissions and energy consumption related to transport and logistics.
Usage
Evaluation of the product's efficiency and impact, including energy and water consumption.
End of life
Analysis of the impacts regarding waste generation, as well as recycling or disposal options.

From LCA to Environmental Product Declaration
These standardized declarations allow for transparent communication of product environmental performance, in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
They also serve as a tool to build credibility with clients and in the marketplace.
