Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), not life cycle cost analysis, is a tool used to evaluate the potential environmental impact of a product, process or activity throughout its entire life cycle by quantifying the use of resources ("inputs" such as energy, raw materials, water) and environmental emissions ("outputs" to air, water and soil) associated with the system that is being evaluated. LCA is a component of Sustainable Development which is supported by the concrete pipe industry.
Do you believe that LCA is a tool that is understood by industry and governments?
