Collects data on the inputs and outputs within the system boundaries to quantify the environmental impacts.

Choosing relevant environmental impact categories to which the LCA results can be assigned, such as global warming potential.

Determines what processes will be included in the LCA, impacting the comprehensiveness of the study.

Evaluates the magnitude and significance of the potential environmental impacts of the inventory data.

Evaluates how changes in the data and assumptions affect the outcome of the LCA, assisting in understanding the robustness of the results.

Analyzes results, assesses the reliability, recommends actions to reduce environmental impacts, and communicates findings.

Specifies the type, source, and quality of data needed to make the LCA scientifically sound.

Describes the distribution of inputs or outputs for processes that serve more than one product, ensuring fair impact assignment.

Defines the LCA's purpose and the expected product's system boundaries, setting the context for the assessment.

The quantitative measure of the system's function which the LCA is based upon, ensuring comparability.

Puts impact category results into a common scale and may assign relative importance to each category for easier interpretation.
