Can your company meet customers’ growing demand for eco-friendly products? In a couple of years, you won’t have a choice. Sustainable design gets you there ahead of the market with great, green products.

Sustainable design hinges on life cycle assessment (LCA), an in-depth, cradle-to-grave analysis of your product. LCA gives you the information and confidence to make smart, environmentally friendly decisions before manufacturing begins.

If you want to reduce your products’ environmental impact and differentiate your company, using SolidWorks Sustainability is the clear and easy way to take those first steps.
  
What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
This is a method to quantitatively assess the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire lifecycle, from the procurement of the raw materials through the production, distribution, use, disposal, and recycling of that product.
