Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a scientific method to analyse the potential environmental impacts of a product system. It is internationally standardised according to ISO 14040 and 14044. It takes into account the potential environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of a product \u2013 from \u201ccradle to grave\u201d. This means it covers all consecutive and interlinked stages of a product system from the extraction of resources, the manufacturing of the product through its use phase, recycling and the final disposal of the remaining waste.<\/p>\n<h3>Our services can support you with:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Comparing the environmental impact of your products with the competing products or new inhouse production routes.<\/li>\n<li>Identifing hot spots of environmental concern.<\/li>\n<li>Technology improvement by using sustainability feedback loops (SUstainability Integrated TEchnology Development, SUITED).<\/li>\n<li>Benchmarking the sustainability of your processes and products and providing information to your customers.<\/li>\n<li>Supporting you in communication strategies including certification and labelling.<\/li>\n<li>Providing peer-reviews for scientific articles and third party critical reviews of LCA studies according to ISO 14040.<\/li>\n<li>Add-on services for Sustainability Certification, Social LCA, Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Techno-Economic Evaluation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>nova-Institute\u2019s strengths are\u00a0 the interdisciplinary and dynamic team for scientifically sound, pragmatic and effective solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Please find the LCA leaflet attached.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/15-10-07-nova-department-sustainability-and-LCA.pdf\">15-10-07-nova department sustainability and LCA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>nova-Institute looks back at more than 10 years of experience in the areas of life cycle as-sessment (LCA), sustainability evaluation and policy consulting.
