Product life cycle considers the impacts of a product from a holistic perspective. This perspective can include both the economic and environmental impacts on a project, product or system. When costs are considered, people refer to Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to understand the economic impact. To understand the environmental impacts, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used. This paper will explain the workings of both of these evaluation tools.
