I am trying to consider the lifecycle aspect but do not really know where to start. I would appreciate any help in this”
Answer:
I would think of your service as a process with its own lifecycle:
You purchase consumables – do you have environmental considerations when deciding to whom to buy?
Your welders have to move to customers locations – do you any environmental considerations about that transport?
Your welders perform their work and generate some kind of waste - do you any environmental considerations about how to perform and how to handle wastes?
The following material will provide you information about considering lifecycle aspects:
