Life Cycle Assessment
Transportation infrastructures (concrete and asphalt) are leading sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. As the nation actively works towards reducing emissions across all sectors, including GHGs, there is a growing need for precise environmental impact assessment and strategies for mitigation. In this context, the adoption of methodologies like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) plays a pivotal role.
LCA offers a holistic approach, enabling a thorough quantification of environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle of a product, service, system, or activity. This encompasses a spectrum of processes, from the extraction and transportation of raw materials to product manufacturing, distribution, construction, ongoing maintenance, product utilization, and even end-of-life management, including considerations like transportation, recycling, and landfill disposal.
Embracing LCA empowers stakeholders to make informed and sustainable decisions.
