Sentences with phrase «lifecycle analysis»
Lifecycle analysis refers to examining the entire lifespan of a product or process, from its creation to its disposal. It involves evaluating the environmental impact, energy use, and resource consumption at each stage, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life treatment. This analysis helps understand the ecological consequences and sustainability of a product or process, aiding in making informed decisions to minimize environmental harm and improve efficiency throughout its lifecycle. Full definition
Those strategies based on the product lifecycle analysis, can include steps such as raw material reductions, energy management, implementation of best available technologies and supply chain optimization.
