This Life Cycle Analysis is a tool to help you compare concepts and products in their ecological burden. You can chose the output in either Eco-cost, CO2 equivalents, BEES points, Bees eco-toxicity and Bees water-intake depending on the task, the area you operate in or the company strategy.
Start with making a list of all the materials, processes you use to produce the product. Where is is being produced and where sold?

For more information on LCA have a look at Joost Vogtländer’s Ecocost website.
