## Description

Life cycle assessment of hardware products is becoming more important, as sustainability is a thing. The common tool "OpenLCA" is designed for expert use - but there is a TypeScript API. It allows you to write a simple UI and automate calculations of life cycle assessments.
In this live session I present a simplified LCA study first in OpenLCA, then write a React frontend with the "olca-ipc" TypeScript library and perform the same calculation in a web browser.
