Life cycle assessment is one of the key issues in Sustainable development. Sustainability issues are effectively resolved scientifically with the help of life cycle assessment studies. Life cycle assessment or LCA is an approach that analyzes processes, products and services in an attempt to determine the full extent of their environmental impact. Described as a 'Cradle to Grave' approach, LCA looks not only at the 'end result' but examines a process, product or service's impact through every stage of its life. From the extraction of the raw materials through to the processing, manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal, LCA analyzes the resource consumption and environmental impacts associated with each and every phase.
