Life Cycle Assessment ActivityThe Life Cycle Concept – “Cradle to Grave/Cradle”
Raw Material Extraction Intermediate Material Manufacture
Finished Product Manufacture
Transportation & logistics/retailUse

Life Cycle Assessment ActivityPotential Usage and What We’ve Learned
Supply Chain
•Communicate environmental inputs and outputs…up and down the supply chain
•Compare material choices against environmental impacts
•Optimize logistics and transportation…and potentially Site future manufacturing plants
•Analyze “Hot Spots “ in current facilities…providing cost savings opportunities now!!!
•Provide responses to customers and potential regulators…to the question of environmental impacts of our products and services
Key Point: LCA is another tool for use in these activities and not the final answer
Life Cycle Assessment Activity
1. Primary Non-Renewable Energy Demand (PED)
2. Global Warming Potential (GWP)
3. Smog Creation Potential (POCP)
4. Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
5. Eutrophication Potential (EP)
6. Acidification Potential (AP)

Environmental Product Declarations
Life Cycle Assessment Activity
•Consumer purchase decision…and our future supporting collateral for that decision making process
•Predict savings and demonstrate reduction in environmental impact…for the right choices
•Optimize building or structure as a system…USGBC incorporating LCA into LEED
•Provide responses to potential regulators…to the question of environmental impacts of your building in use
Key Point: Durable (long lived) energy efficient products are big winners!!!
Consumer Use
Potential Usage and What We’ve Learned
Life Cycle Assessment Activity
•Drive recycling programs…and the need for infrastructure
•Conserve virgin resources…for future generations, the main theme of Sustainability
•Reduce escalating land fill costs…real savings now!!!
•Provide responses to customers and potential regulators…to the question of environmental impacts of our retired products
Key Point: LCA will show where recycling has the most value
