Life-Cycle Assessment

Life-Cycle Assessment (or Life-Cycle Analysis - LCA) is an increasingly important analytical tool, as environmental policy focuses more and more on product and service systems instead of just production sites. LCA is most developed as a technique for evaluating environmental impacts, but it can be extended to cover other sustainability themes.

LCA is an analytical tool. It provides environmental analysis to support decisions of many kinds. In business, LCA can provide environmental insight to inform purchasing decisions, product design, process selection or waste management strategies. The results of LCA can also be used to inform government policy-making.

LCAs range from rapid, qualitative evaluations to large-scale, quantitative studies. Selecting the right method and designing the study are key to using LCA effectively. EuGeos has carried out a range of LCA studies to inform a variety of decisions in business and in the public-sector.

LCA Training Courses

Are you considering carrying out an LCA of your products/services? Do you want to fully understand the results of an existing study? LCA's are highly technical; commissioning them - and using their results - need care and skills. That's why we are offering training courses specifically designed to develop the skills and knowledge of LCA users – current and prospective.

Based on our experience of preparing LCA's for various organisations our LCA training courses are carefully designed so that you will:
- better understand and interpret the results of LCA studies
- be able to design and specify relevant and cost-effective LCA projects
- maximise the “decision-support value” that can be obtained from LCAs
The course will cover each of the stages of any LCA project: goal and scope definition, system modelling and life cycle inventory analysis, life cycle impact assessment, interpretation & communication of results.

Courses can be tailored to any organisation's requirements.
