Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific, data-driven methodology used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product across its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction to manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life disposal. As part of Environment Clearance (EC) simulations, Product LCA supports the EC Committee’s requirement for transparent environmental impact quantification, particularly for projects involving material-intensive systems, industrial components, or large-scale infrastructure.
By integrating LCA into the EC framework, the project demonstrates measurable environmental accountability, resource efficiency, and climate-conscious material selection. The assessment provides structured impact results aligned with recognized international methodologies, strengthening regulatory submissions and sustainability positioning.
Quantifies environmental impact indicators such as Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification, Eutrophication, Ozone Depletion, and Resource Depletion.

Get a QuoteThrough comprehensive lifecycle modelling and impact quantification, Product LCA provides measurable environmental performance indicators across multiple impact categories, enabling clear identification of high-impact materials and processes. The analysis delivers outputs such as embodied carbon values, lifecycle impact breakdown charts, contribution analysis by stage, and comparative performance scenarios. These insights support evidence-based material selection, reduce environmental risk, strengthen EC submissions, and enhance sustainability positioning by demonstrating transparent, data-backed environmental responsibility.
Depending on project requirements, the study can be conducted as cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-site, or cradle-to-grave. The system boundary is clearly defined during the Goal & Scope phase and includes raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use phase (if applicable), and end-of-life scenarios, as intended.
The assessment typically quantifies Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification Potential, Eutrophication Potential, Ozone Depletion Potential, Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential, and Abiotic Resource Depletion, among other relevant indicators depending on the product type and regulatory scope.
The product LCA is performed in Sima-pro with Ecoinvent 3.10.1 database CML IA Baseline v3.05 methodology.
A: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides the scientific data on a product’s environmental impacts across its life cycle, and this data is used to support compliance and documentation requirements for GreenPro Certification.
