Slide 4: What is Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040 definition)
WHAT IS LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (ISO 14040 DEFINITION) LCA is a technique for assessing the environmental impacts associated with a product, by • Compiling an inventory of relevant inputs and outputs of a product system, • Evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with those inputs and
Slide 5: Environment impact categories assessed in LCAs

Slide 6: The purpose and limitations of LCAs
THE PURPOSE AND LIMITATIONS OF LCAS PURPOSE LIMITATIONS • Identify environmental hotspots along a product’s life • Not an exact science (methodologies, models and cycle. assumptions shape results). • Add an environmental dimension for decision- • For the same product, different LCAs can suggest make
Slide 7: Elevating the debate: moving from linear assessments to true circular thinking
ELEVATING THE DEBATE: MOVING FROM LINEAR ASSESSMENTS TO TRUE CIRCULAR THINKING • LCAs today are mostly linear instead of applying circular thinking, which would be more appropriate for fast moving consumer goods such as beverage packaging. • That is why Ball is sponsoring a multi-year PhD program at
