LCAs compile the emissions (air, water, soil, waste etc.) and resource use of a product much the same as a bookkeeper tallies up figures. The data usually describe the path of a product from "cradle to grave". This includes sourcing of raw materials, production of precursor materials, production of the main product, usage of the product and disposal. The data are usually characterized by various means. LCAs are carried out in accordance with the ISO norms 14040 ff.
LCAs can be used to
analyse weak points of products or systems
compare various design options
