전 생애주기 영향 평가(LCIA)

Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) is a systematic process used to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life cycle, from raw material extraction through production, use, and disposal. This assessment quantifies potential effects on various environmental categories, such as climate change, resource depletion, and ecosystem quality, enabling designers and decision-makers to identify areas for improvement. By integrating LCIA into product design and innovation, organizations can enhance sustainability, reduce negative environmental impacts, and support informed decision-making throughout the product development process.
