The aim of the Steel LCA application is to perform simplified Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of hot-rolled I-section and tubular-section profiles. LCA is perfomed according to ISO standards 14040:2006 and 14044:2006. Moreover, the analysis is performed taking into account the modular concept of European standard EN15804:2012.
The application enables three different scopes for the LCA: (i) a cradle-to-gate analysis (Module A according to EN15804:2012); (ii) a cradle-to-gate analysis plus end-of-life recycling (Modules A and D according to EN15804:2012); and (iii) a cradle-to-grave analysis plus end-of-life recycling (Modules A to D according to EN15804:2012).
