Tag - Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): A method for holistically evaluating environmental impacts throughout a product’s entire life cycle. It takes into account, among other things, energy and resource consumption, emissions, and end-of-life scenarios. At Fraunhofer IZM, life cycle assessments are used to evaluate the environmental impacts of electronic products, identify opportunities for optimization, and develop more sustainable technologies. These assessments are based on international standards such as ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
