Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a product during its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction through the use phase and final disposal of the product. Evaluating green ingredients using life cycle thinking can provide a valuable perspective on the environmental implications of these ingredients, how they compare to their traditional or synthetic counterparts, and how they can improve the sustainability of the overall life cycle of the product.
