LCA.pptx
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool that examines the total environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal or recycling. LCA was first developed in the 1960s-1970s to analyze the environmental effects of products. The International Standards Organization defines LCA as compiling an inventory of a product's inputs and outputs, evaluating the potential environmental impacts, and interpreting the results. LCAs are used for product improvement, decision making, environmental planning, and marketing claims.

A Pragmatic Approach to
Lifecycle Analysis
Formal lifecycle analysis is not new; in fact, lifecycle analysis tools andtechniques have been around in various forms for decades. What is newis an urgent need to improve the tools and expand the use of lifecycle
analysis to a broader spectrum of products and services.
We’re going to use a pragmatic approach to lifecycle analysis that keeps
the focus on the main goals: understanding the overall impact and making
improvements. The truth is that you don’t always need to measure every-
thing; you don’t always need precise data; you don’t always need complete
information. You just need to know what to measure, when, and how—and
where to place your priorities.
To get started we’ll need a model of the product/service lifecycle that we
can use to organize our work. So, let’s take a closer look at the phases of a
typical lifecycle and the key considerations at each phase.
A Basic Lifecycle Model
Every product is different; every lifecycle has unique time frames and char-
acteristics. As a result, many different lifecycle models have been produced
over time. For this book, we use a basic three-stage model. We prefer this
model because it is straightforward and matches most people’s personal expe-
rience with the lifecycle stages of common products. The three stages of our
model are
• “Make,” which covers everything that happens before a product is
actually put into operation—including the materials and chemicals
45
that are used to create it, the processes involved in assembling and
manufacturing it, the packaging that encases it, and the supply chain
that distributes it
• “Use,” which includes the power the product consumes as it is
operated, the greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions it creates,
the water it uses, and the noise, light, and heat it generates during
operation
• “Renew,” which covers everything that happens after the product is
used, including the demanufacture or disassembly of the product,
reuse of key components, recycling, and take-back
At each stage of the lifecycle we focus on three primary aspects of the
environmental impact of a product or service:
• Energy and emissions, including the calculation of energy and
power, finding the cleanest source of energy for your product, using
energy efficiently, calculating GHG emissions and CO2 conversion,
and so on
• Chemicals, materials, and waste, including the legal and business
considerations of hazardous and toxic substances, packaging and doc-
umentation, waste disposal, recycling, take-back, and process-related
GHG emissions
• Water and other natural resources that are embodied in the product
or service, including social and business considerations of using
scarce or nonrenewable materials, calculating the water footprint, and
so forth
Additional Lifecycle Considerations
Our three-phase model is intentionally simplistic. So, before we discuss
each aspect of the lifecycle in more detail, we’d like to offer a few notes.

The document discusses product design and process selection. It begins by outlining the key aspects of product design such as defining materials, appearance, dimensions and performance standards. It then discusses the process of product design which includes idea development, product screening, preliminary design and testing, and final design. Various factors that influence product design and process selection are also covered such as customer requirements, cost, quality standards and environmental issues. Tools for process selection and performance metrics are also summarized.
How Standards work together
This document discusses how two emerging sustainability standards for events, ISO 20121 and APEX/ASTM, can work together effectively. It outlines that ISO 20121 takes a process-based approach, requiring a management system to help organizations achieve sustainability objectives through continuous improvement. APEX/ASTM takes a performance-based approach, setting specific sustainability targets. The document argues that using the standards together can maximize their benefits, with ISO 20121 providing a systematic framework and APEX/ASTM addressing specific environmental issues. It provides an example of how the standards can be integrated into a planning process from goal-setting to monitoring and improvement.
Set up and implementing an effective wmp
This document outlines the key steps for setting up and implementing an effective waste management program, including:
1. Conducting a preliminary waste assessment to collect baseline data on current waste generation and management practices.
2. Using tools like life cycle assessment, best practicable environmental options, and environmental audits to analyze waste streams, identify reduction opportunities, and ensure regulatory compliance.
3. Developing and implementing a waste minimization program with goals, standard operating procedures, monitoring systems, and targets to continuously track waste reduction progress over time.
The overall waste management program aims to reduce environmental impacts and costs by analyzing an organization's full supply chain and promoting sustainable practices. Close monitoring and documentation are also essential to evaluate the program's
Environment auditing
Environmental auditing assesses a company's environmental performance and impact in order to help inform decision-making. Audits evaluate the nature and extent of environmental harm caused by a company's activities, wastes, or noise. Audits should be independent, objective, credible, transparent, regular and ongoing. Environmental auditing was developed in the 1970s in response to new environmental regulations and has since been used to assess compliance, issues of concern, sites, products, and management systems. Audits identify recommendations to improve practices and reduce environmental impact.
Sustainability integration via connected data
The document discusses using connected data and technology integration to enable more sustainable shoe design and production. It outlines current problems with massive shoe waste, the difficulty and cost of recycling, and information being siloed across the supply chain. The proposed solution is a customer-driven design for sustainability approach enabled by connecting all parts of the process from design to production to the consumer. Key technologies discussed are PLM, IoT, and a material usage dashboard to provide transparency and support decision-making. The implementation demonstrates how custom orders, PLM, ERP and IoT can connect to track material usage across products and help reduce waste.

The document discusses product design and process selection. It begins by outlining the key aspects of product design such as defining materials, appearance, dimensions and performance standards. It then discusses the process of product design which includes idea development, product screening, preliminary design and testing, and final design. Various factors that influence product design and process selection are also covered such as customer requirements, cost, quality standards and environmental issues. Tools for process selection and performance metrics are also summarized.
How Standards work together
This document discusses how two emerging sustainability standards for events, ISO 20121 and APEX/ASTM, can work together effectively. It outlines that ISO 20121 takes a process-based approach, requiring a management system to help organizations achieve sustainability objectives through continuous improvement. APEX/ASTM takes a performance-based approach, setting specific sustainability targets. The document argues that using the standards together can maximize their benefits, with ISO 20121 providing a systematic framework and APEX/ASTM addressing specific environmental issues. It provides an example of how the standards can be integrated into a planning process from goal-setting to monitoring and improvement.
Set up and implementing an effective wmp
This document outlines the key steps for setting up and implementing an effective waste management program, including:
1. Conducting a preliminary waste assessment to collect baseline data on current waste generation and management practices.
2. Using tools like life cycle assessment, best practicable environmental options, and environmental audits to analyze waste streams, identify reduction opportunities, and ensure regulatory compliance.
3. Developing and implementing a waste minimization program with goals, standard operating procedures, monitoring systems, and targets to continuously track waste reduction progress over time.
The overall waste management program aims to reduce environmental impacts and costs by analyzing an organization's full supply chain and promoting sustainable practices. Close monitoring and documentation are also essential to evaluate the program's
Environment auditing
Environmental auditing assesses a company's environmental performance and impact in order to help inform decision-making. Audits evaluate the nature and extent of environmental harm caused by a company's activities, wastes, or noise. Audits should be independent, objective, credible, transparent, regular and ongoing. Environmental auditing was developed in the 1970s in response to new environmental regulations and has since been used to assess compliance, issues of concern, sites, products, and management systems. Audits identify recommendations to improve practices and reduce environmental impact.

Sustainability integration via connected data
The document discusses using connected data and technology integration to enable more sustainable shoe design and production. It outlines current problems with massive shoe waste, the difficulty and cost of recycling, and information being siloed across the supply chain. The proposed solution is a customer-driven design for sustainability approach enabled by connecting all parts of the process from design to production to the consumer. Key technologies discussed are PLM, IoT, and a material usage dashboard to provide transparency and support decision-making. The implementation demonstrates how custom orders, PLM, ERP and IoT can connect to track material usage across products and help reduce waste.

This document introduces a new Footwear Sustainability Tool based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles that aims to provide the benefits of an LCA without the typical drawbacks. An LCA considers the entire life cycle of a product from raw material extraction through end of life. While comprehensive, traditional LCAs are expensive and require expert support. The new tool is a collaboration between footwear and sustainability experts to create an affordable web-based solution that does not require expertise to use. It allows brands and manufacturers to measure and report on environmental impacts to support sustainability reporting, regulatory compliance, and consumer transparency through digital product passports.

This document discusses sustainability challenges in the footwear industry and moving towards more sustainable practices. It notes that public authorities are beginning to regulate through directives and legislation to address resource depletion, environmental impacts, and consumer awareness. The document analyzes footprints of shoes and finds that materials have the greatest impact, while end of life has a weak per unit impact but large waste quantity. It stresses that durability has the greatest potential to reduce impacts, and discusses assessing durability through performance testing and establishing a holistic definition of durability that includes repairability. The key to more sustainable footwear is adopting a full lifecycle approach that optimizes materials, durability, reparability, and recyclability.
