What is life cycle assessment ???
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool to assess the natural impacts of a
product or process all throughout its entire life cycle .
What is the purpose of LCA ???

 Government and clients who buy products from various sectored


organizations are excited about environmental properties of the
considerable number of products .
 At this phase there is a requirement for a tool like LCA that enables
organizations to take care of the demand to extemporize
process/product.

Different Types of LCA
 Conceptual LCA – it is the simplest form of LCA and is utilized at an exceptionally
fundamental level to make an assessment of environmental viewpoints, in view of
a restricted and normally qualitative inventory.
 Simplified LCA - Simplified LCA applies the LCA strategy for a screening
assessment (i.e. covering the entire life cycle). In any case, it does as such
externally by utilizing conventional data and standard modules for vitality
production.
Simplification of LCA comprises of three phases.
Screening
Simplifying
Assessing reliability

 Detailed LCA - Detailed LCAs include the full process of undertaking LCAs and
require broad and top to bottom, data accumulation, particularly focussed upon
the objective of the LCA, which if just accessible conventionally, must be
gathered particularly on the product or administration under audit.
Life Cycle Assessment Standards
 ISO 14040: Environmental Management – LCA – Principles and Framework.
 ISO 14041: Environmental Management – LCA – Inventory Analysis.
 ISO 14042: Environmental Management – LCA – Impact Assessment.
 ISO 14043: Environmental Management – LCA – Interpretation

ISO 14040 contains general information on:


a. Goal and scope of LCA
b. LCI phase
c. LCIA phase
d. Interpretation phase
e. Reporting and critical review
f. Limitations
g. Relationship between phases
h. Conditions for use of value choices and optional elements
Process Involved In Undertaking A LCA
 The Detailed LCA method can be split into five stages

 Planning
 Screening
 Data collection and data treatment
 Evaluation
 Improvement assessment
Current Status & Trends
 Now there is a drive towards ecosystem
administrations, water and social effects
and additionally the move from
attributional to consequential LCA.
 Social perspectives have extended
nearly as quickly as have indirect or
consequential, and the beginnings of a
formalization of Social LCA can be seen
simply beginning to develop.
 weight being put on assessing the effect
of decisions on holistic sustainability.
 tools are significantly more younger,
however, a few methodologies have
begun to develop, alongside
expanding accentuation on
incorporated sustainability assessments.
Benefits and Challenges
 Benefits for Industries
 Benefits for Governments
 Benefits for Consumers
Challenges
 LCA just tends to address environmental effects, however there is expanding
interest for more extensive sustainability assessments covering the social and
monetary dimensions of sustainability.
 yet strategies for social assessment are still at an early stage
 The time when the environmental, monetary, and social dimensions of
sustainability can be surveyed reliably and with adequate detail lies toward at
the end of a hurdled way.
Strategy While Also Meeting Socio-
economic Needs

 A social and socio-economic Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) is a social impact


(and potential impact) assessment procedure that means to evaluate the social
and socio-economic parts of products and their potential positive and negative
impacts along their life cycle including extraction and processing of raw
materials; fabricating; dissemination; utilize; re-utilize; support; reusing; and last
transfer.
 In principle, S-LCA might be conducted on any products, even those that are
intentionally destructive to society (e.g. weapons).
Companies In India Using Socio-economic Life
Cycle(S-LCA) Assessment Technique
 Organization: Infosys
 In the most recent five years, Infosys has decreased its per capita energy
utilization by 40% and its per capita water utilization by 34%.
 It has built new buildings which devour 66% less energy and 40% less water
contrasted with the more established structures, at no additional capital
expense.
 Infosys is progressing in the direction of guaranteeing 100% segregation of
waste at source in all the campuses. Natural waste that is produced nearby is
treated by fertilizing the soil or biogas plants.
 Life Cycle Assessment For The Use Of Liquefied Petroleum Gas And Kerosene As
Cooking Fuels In India
 The use of energy for cooking is one of the most important sectors for energy
utilization in India. This was one of the principal S-LCA study completed in India
in the 1990s in the Indian energy segment
 The objective of the investigation was to analyse distinctive types of cooking
and their environmental favourable and unfavourable circumstances over
the entire lifecycle.
 A coordinate examination of cooking with the two fuels shows the
environmental advantage in the utilization of LPG over kerosene. The
examination indicates likewise the need to consider the entire life cycle for a
legitimate correlation of the explored cooking potential outcomes.
