An eco-balance is a synonym for the Life Cycle Impact Assessment result, representing the potential environmental impacts of a product system expressed in amounts of one or more impact category indicators.
The term eco-balance originated from German-speaking countries, where "Ökobilanz" (literally "ecological balance") became widely used to describe comprehensive environmental assessments of products and services. This terminology reflects the concept of balancing or accounting for all environmental burdens and benefits across a product's life cycle. Whilst the term eco-balance is less commonly used in contemporary LCA literature compared to terms like "environmental profile" or "product footprint", it remains synonymous with the Life cycle impact assessment result.
