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.
