Life Cycle
Assessment

By 2030, Galaxy will achieve an environmentally sound management framework for products and all wastes throughout the life cycle of products, in accordance with agreed international frameworks. We have completed Life cycle assessment of 43 products.

Life Cycle Assessment provides a framework and methods for evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with different stages of a product's life cycle, starting from the raw material extraction and transportation, up to the disposal at the end of its life. Galaxy Surfactants has started evaluating its products with Life Cycle Perspective using the GaBi Tool.

The engagement objective is also to evaluate environmental impacts associated with the value chain of manufacturing. This is achieved through conducting the ‘Life Cycle Assessment’ as per ISO 14040/44 standard from cradle to gate approach to evaluate the various environmental performance indicators such as primary energy demand, product carbon footprint, human toxicity, eco-toxicity, air emissions, effluent discharge and waste generation in a holistic manner.
