2. LifeCycle Assessment
Manufacturing
Production
Raw material extraction
Disposal
Recycling
Transportation
Use/Consumption

3. Environmental Impact
It is an alteration of the initial characteristics of the
environment caused by a project,work or activity
It is the set of consequences for human health,
welfare of the flora and fauna
and the future availability of natural resources
attributable to the input or output streams of a system

4. Environmental Impact Assessment
It is an instrument that identifies, describes and
assesses
the expected effects that cause the
realization
of a project on various environmental issues

9. It is a technique that tries to
identify, measure and characterize
different potential environmental impacts
associated to each one of the stages
of the life cycle of a product
LifeCycleAssessment

10. LifeCycleAssessment
It does not consider economic issues, neither
social

11. The goal is to understand the flows of matter and energy
involved in the product, material,
manufacturing process, packaging,
etc.
And find out what are the environmentally critical points,
and prevent or remove them
using other materials or systems
LifeCycleAssessment

12. Phases of the LCA study
a) Phase of goal and scope definition
b) Phase of inventory analysis
c) Phase of impact assessment
d) Phase of interpretation

13. Phase of goal and scope definition
The basic concepts are defined, such as:
Product system to study
The functions of the product
system
The functional unit
The system limits
Assumptions
Limitations
Data Requirements

14. Phase of the inventory analysis
Data collection andquantification of
neededinput/output data

15. Phase of impact assessment
Understand and assess the
magnitude and importance
potential environmental impactsof

16. Phase of interpretation
The results of inventory and/or impact assessment
are summarized and discussed as basis for
the conclusions, recommendationsand
decision making according to the objective
and scope defined
