Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for Sustainable Vaccine Manufacturing

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an all-encompassing method used in many industries, such as life science and the production of vaccines, to evaluate the effects that a product or process has on the environment, the economy, and society throughout the course of its whole life cycle. A thorough systematic review literature analysis was conducted using secondary data sources, including academic literature, and books to compile available data. To categorize and find patterns in the data, thematic analysis was used. According to the research, when applied properly, LCA is still a useful technique despite the drawbacks. It offers a methodical way to evaluate the effects of vaccine production on the environment and can direct improved decisions. Yet, a more complete picture of the overall sustainability of vaccine manufacturing may be achieved by combining LCA with other sustainability evaluation methods and taking into account larger social and economic factors. In the context of vaccine production, this research aims to provide important insights into the junction of life cycle assessment and sustainable practices. In addition to contributing to the advancement of the scholarly conversation on sustainable vaccine production, the findings will offer useful suggestions to industry participants and legislators who wish to improve the social and environmental sustainability of vaccine production methods.
