Honda launched the LCA Project in June 2000 and built the Honda LCA System to quantify the environmental impacts of Honda's products throughout their life cycles and of its business activities.
The LCA System enables us to quantify the environmental impacts of our products throughout their life cycles, from the preparation of materials and production to waste disposal. Thereby we can set environmental impact reduction targets. From now on, regarding our products and business activities, we will further improve the environment and reduce the use of substances that will impose environmental impacts.
The Honda LCA System is comprised of the Honda LCA Data System and the Honda LCA Management System. These systems can be applied commonly to motorcycles, automobiles and power products and each department can reduce its environmental impacts directly based on the collected environmental impact data.
For the specific examples regarding the use of the Honda LCA System, we compared the CO
2
emissions of CIVIC FERIO and CIVIC Hybrid throughout their entire life cycles and confirmed that CIVIC Hybrid had environmental improvement effects. CIVIC Hybrid is equipped with special parts such as IMA and batteries, and regarding materials and the production process, its CO
2
emissions are greater than those of the traditional CIVIC FERIO. In the process of actual use, however, CO
2
emissions from CIVIC Hybrid are remarkably smaller because of the improved fuel economy.
As a result, the CO
2
emissions throughout the life cycle of CIVIC Hybrid were by approximately 25% smaller compared with CIVIC FERIO.
