Abstract
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool for the implementation of the ECODESIGN. In this chapter, the environmental aspects of a product are assessed using LCA. An LCA is based on entire life cycle stages of a product spanning from the use of raw materials to the end of life stage. The product for LCA was defined in chapter 1, product modeling.
