LCA (Life Cycle Assessment); ACV (Analyse du cycle de vie)
Lifecycle analysis is a tool that identifies and quantifies the physical flows of materials and energy associated with human activities, throughout a product's lifecycle. It assesses potential impacts, then interprets the results obtained according to its initial objectives. Whether the product is a good, a service or even a process, all stages in the product life cycle are taken into account in the "cradle-to-grave" flow inventory: extraction of the energy and non-energy raw materials needed to manufacture the product, distribution, use, collection and disposal to end-of-life channels, as well as all transportation phases. ISO international standards (14040 to 14043), developed since 1994, have laid down the methodological and ethical foundations for this type of assessment. ADEME. 2018, updated June 18,...
