Show transcript
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) checks a product’s impact from start to finish.
The carbon footprint rises with energy and resources used in manufacture, use and disposal.
Recycling, reuse, or upcycling reduce the carbon footprint in an LCA.
Designers use the LCA to find ways to cut emissions and improve efficiency.
