Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

At SSGA, we believe that true sustainability starts with understanding the complete journey of a product or process — from the extraction of raw materials to its final disposal or recycling. Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) services help organizations evaluate the full environmental impact of their products, services, or operations, enabling smarter, more sustainable decisions at every stage.

What is Life Cycle Assessment?

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific method used to quantify the environmental impacts associated with every phase of a product’s life cycle. It provides a “cradle-to-grave” (or “cradle-to-cradle”) view assessing impacts from:

By studying these stages, LCA helps identify opportunities to reduce emissions, energy use, and resource consumption, supporting the transition to sustainable production and consumption systems.

Why Conduct an LCA?

To understand and minimize environmental impacts across the product life cycle
To identify hotspots where energy, water, or materials are heavily consumed
To improve resource efficiency and reduce carbon footprint
To support eco-design, green product innovation, and sustainable packaging
To generate credible data for ESG disclosures, sustainability reporting, or green building certifications (IGBC, LEED, GRIHA)
To align with international sustainability standards like ISO 14040 and ISO 14044

Our Life Cycle Assessment Services

Product LCA

We assess the environmental performance of individual products or services identifying the stages with the highest impact and recommending improvements.

Process & System LCA

For industries, we evaluate entire processes, production lines, or systems to understand overall sustainability performance

Building & Infrastructure LCA

We assess the embodied energy and carbon emissions of construction materials and processes for green building certification and sustainable design

Comparative & Scenario Analysis

We help organizations make data-backed choices between different materials, suppliers, or process designs.

Reporting, Verification & Training

Our LCAs follow international methodologies and are presented in clear, verifiable formats.

Our Methodology

Our LCA studies follow the ISO 14040/44 framework and global best practices:

Goal & Scope Definition - Establishing study objectives, system boundaries, and functional units.
Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) - Collecting data on energy, materials, emissions, and waste across all stages.
Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) - Quantifying environmental impacts such as carbon footprint, water use, toxicity, and resource depletion.
Interpretation & Recommendations - Translating results into actionable insights for design, production, and policy improvements.

We use scientifically validated databases and LCA tools to ensure accuracy, credibility, and comparability of results.
