Ready to expand your knowledge of product LCAs? Welcome to Part Two of our video series about life cycle assessments. Explore the Goal and Scope Definition Phase as outlined in ISO 14040 and 14044.

First, we will take a high-level overview of the Goal and Scope Definition Phase of the LCA.

Next, visit each of these subcategories one at a time to understand their formal definitions. Important concepts are revisited or referenced so that technical terms do not prevent us from exploring some topics in great detail.

Finally, get acquainted with the finer points of scope definition, and how we can use it to set up a clean and rigorous study as we move forward into the executive phases of the life cycle assessment.
