Feeling overwhelmed by LCA terminology? This video is the fourth video in this series about product LCAs. Explore the common terms and definitions used in life cycle assessments according to ISO 14040 and 14044.
First, we will explore some general definitions pertaining to life cycles and life cycle assessments. Next, visit the various phases of an LCA one by one to understand their formal definitions. A product system is a particularly important model, and it is also explored in detail. Finally, get acquainted with the finer points of the LCI phase, and how we can use it to generate results from our raw data and communicate our results to interested parties in simple, concrete terms.
