Life Cycle Assessment as a tool of modern ecological education

The article presents the issues of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) use in contemporary ecological education, in relation to the problem of sustainable development. Based on the analysis of the literature, legal norms and strategic documents, the theoretical aspects of LCA as a tool used in numerous areas and environmental management processes were discussed and the significance of its use in the process of shaping ecological awareness of both the whole society and enterprises was demonstrated. The role of using computer programs based on LCA technology (such as SimaPro) in the teaching process at the higher education level was also emphasised.
