To facilitate the sharing of Life Cycle Assessment ( LCA) report by data visualization. Since computer technology has allowed the calculation of LCA, data visualization stands as the ideal tool for eco-design stakeholders to easily understand LCA results. The objective of this research is to assess the potential contribution of new data visualizations to facilitate LCA sharing. How to facilitate LCA sharing and understanding?

1. 1. DATAVISUALIZATION
BENCHMARKDatavisualization: [fn] information that has been abstracted in some schematic form,
including attributes or variables for the units of information.
[Michael Friendly (2008). "Milestones in the history of thematic cartography, statistical
graphics, and data visualization"]
2. ADAPTED VISUALIZATION
SELECTIONLCIA : phase of life cycle assessment aimed at understanding and evaluating the magnitude and significance
of the potential environmental impacts for a product system throughout the life cycle of the product
[ISO 14040:2006 - Life cycle assessment — Principles and framework]
