A life cycle assessment (LCA) is carried out to assess the environmental impact of a product.

The four main stages of an LCA are listed below out of order:

  • W Using the product and maintaining it during its lifetime
  • X Disposing of the product at the end of its useful life
  • Y Extracting and processing the raw materials
  • Z Manufacturing and packaging the product
