The full life cycle of a product is taken into account– this includes the supply of raw materials, processing, transport, retail, use, as well as end-of-life waste management. Life Cycle Impact assessment (LCIA) is the phase in which the set of results of the Inventory Analysis, mainly the inventory table with emissions and extractions, is further processed and interpreted in terms of environmental impacts and societal preferences. To this end, a list of impact categories (environmental problems) is defined, and models for relating environmental interventions to suitable category indicators for these impact categories are selected. The actual modeling results are calculated in the characterization step, and an optional normalization serves to indicate the share of the modeled results in a worldwide or regional total. The European Platform on LCA (EPLCA) aims to harmonize the use of Impact Assessment factors. Therefore it provides guidance and data to facilitate LCIA. It equally outlines criteria against which models and indicators should be evaluated, covering both scientific aspects and stakeholder acceptability. The ILCD recommended set of impact assessment factors are defined on the midpoint level (e.g. abiotic resource depletion of elements, abiotic resource depletion of fossil fuels, global warming, ecotoxicity, acidification etc.) http://eplca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ Website: http://eplca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?page_id=1159 The European Commission’s Integrated Product Policy Communication (COM (2003)302) identified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as the “best framework for assessing the potential environmental impacts of products”. This Communication highlighted the necessity for a Platform on LCA and to increase the availability of quality-assured life-cycle data. The EC, through its DG Environment and JRC, responded to these needs by establishing the European Platform on Life Cycle Assessment (EPLCA). The ILCD recommended set of Impact Assessment factors is the result of extensive debate within the Impact Assessment community.
