REPORT

Offering valuable insights into carbon emissions associated with your organisation's product over its entire lifetime, providing a basis for achievable reductions.

They did exactly what was asked and where we had less than perfect understanding of the issues involved their expertise showed through. The response time to follow up enquiries was excellent and I would happily use Tunley again.”

The Assessment Details

WHAT ARE THE STAGES WITHIN AN LCA?

The initial embodied carbon of the product begins with resource extraction, transportation, and manufacture, often referred to as a cradle-to-gate LCA. Finally, the most detailed analysis is the cradle-to-grave LCA, which includes the use and end-of-life stages of the product. Learn more about the stages within an LCA.

Each service follows the same principles, requirements and guidelines for the quantification of the carbon footprint of products. The quantification of the GHG emissions associated with the life cycle stages of a product differs between each service.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS AN LCA? A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic and comprehensive methodology used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product, process, building or system throughout its entire life cycle. This life cycle typically consists of several stages, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life disposal or recycling. LCA is a valuable tool for assessing the environmental sustainability of various products and activities, helping decision makers make informed choices to minimise their environmental footprint.

WHY IS A LCA CONDUCTED? A Life Cycle Assessment is a valuable tool for individuals, organisations, and industries looking to understand, assess, and reduce their environmental impacts. It provides data-driven insights that can inform decision-making, drive sustainability initiatives, enhance competitiveness, and meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible practices.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN LCA?

Life Cycle Assessments are versatile and powerful which offers numerous benefits, including better decision-making, environmental impact reduction, cost savings, enhanced competitiveness, and support for sustainability goals. It plays a critical role in promoting environmentally responsible practices and guiding efforts towards a more sustainable future. Seek more information on 'The Benefits of a Life Cycle Assessment.'

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'CRADLE-TO-GATE' AND 'CRADLE-TO-GRAVE'?

Cradle-to-gate (often referred to as embodied carbon) and cradle-to-grave (often referred to as an LCA) are two terms used in Life Cycle Assessments and environmental analysis to describe different boundaries or scopes for assessing the environmental impacts of a product, process, or system.

Cradle-to-Gate: Considers the environmental impacts from raw materials to the factory gate where the product or building is fully manufactured/constructed, excluding the implementation, use, and end-of-life phases.

Cradle-to-Grave: Considers the entire life cycle of a product or building, including raw material extraction, manufacturing/construction, transportation, use, and end-of-life stages. Providing a more comprehensive assessment of its environmental impacts.
