==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''life cycle assessment''' is a technique to assess [[environment]]al impacts associated with all the stages of a [[Product (Business)|product]]'s life from raw [[material]] [[extraction]] through [[material]]s processing, [[manufacture]], [[distribution]], use, [[repair]] and [[maintenance]], and [[disposal]] or [[recycling]].
===About Life Cycle Assessments===
A '''life cycle assessment''' includes information on the [[energy]] needed and the [[Waste Product|waste]] produced during:
*[[Extraction]] the raw [[material]]
*[[Pure|Purification]] of [[material]]s
*[[Manufacture]] of the [[Product (Business)|product]]
*Use, [[maintenance]] and [[repair]]ing of the [[Product (Business)|product]]
*[[Disposal]] or [[recycling]] of the [[Product (Business)|product]]
A '''life cycle assessment''' of a [[product]] will show:
*Emission of [[gas]]es into the [[atmosphere]]
*Emission of [[Waste Product|waste products]] into [[river]]s or the [[ocean]]
*Production of [[solid]] [[Waste Product|waste]] for landfills
*[[Coproducts]] made during [[manufacture]] that are useful elsewhere
*[[Energy]] required at each stage of a [[Product (Business)|product's]] '''life cycle'''
