Abstract

The ecological footprint is crucial in assessing industrial processes and is essential for understanding their impact. The integrated approach to life cycle assessment is essential for studying these footprints. The scientific paper describes a comprehensive approach to assessing the environmental footprint of industrial operations using life cycle analysis. The study's goal is to examine the environmental implications of various stages in the life cycle of industrial products or processes. A life cycle analysis framework is provided, which encompasses all processes from raw material extraction to product manufacture and consumption, as well as waste and recycling possibilities. Each phase is evaluated in terms of energy use, material consumption, and environmental impact. Concrete steps for implementing an integrated approach to life cycle analysis in industrial environments are presented, as are examples of the methodology's implementation in various areas of production. The article emphasises the need for incorporating environmental considerations into decision-making processes and assists organisations in identifying opportunities for optimising and reducing their environmental footprint.
