lebenszyklusbezogener

Lebenszyklusbezogener is an adjective used in German to describe something that is related to or oriented around a life cycle. It is formed from Lebenszyklus (life cycle) and bezogen (related), and is commonly found in sustainability, product development, project management, and information technology contexts. The term characterizes analyses, methods, or perspectives that take into account all stages of a system’s life, from raw material extraction and production to use, maintenance, end-of-life disposal or reuse.

Typical usages include lebenszyklusbezogene Analyse (a life-cycle–related analysis, for example in life-cycle assessment), lebenszyklusbezogener Ansatz (a life-cycle–oriented approach), and lebenszyklusbezogene Bewertung or lebenszyklusbezogene Daten. In practice, a lebenszyklusbezogener Blick emphasizes long-term environmental, economic, and social impacts rather than focusing on a single phase. It supports decisions such as design optimization, material selection, circular economy strategies, and sustainable procurement by comparing total life-cycle costs and burdens.

Etymology and use: the term combines Lebenszyklus with bezogen, and it forms part of a broader set of life-cycle related terms in German, including lebenszyklusbezogenes Denken or lebenszyklusorientierte Konzepte. The expression appears in German-language technical and policy literature dealing with sustainability, resource management, and product stewardship.
