Abstract: Abstract Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool that assesses the environmental impacts and resources used throughout a product’s life cycle, i.e., from raw material acquisition to the production and use phases and waste management [263]. Hellweg found that LCA is an important decision-support tool that, among other functions, allows companies to benchmark and optimize the environmental performance of products or for authorities to design policies for sustainable consumption and production [287].
