To facilitate the identification of hotspots and sustainable products by data visualization of LCA results. The objective of this research is to assess the contribution of data visualizations to share hotspots and to communicate on sustainable products. How to facilitate LCA hotspots sharing and to communicate on sustainable products?

3. VISUALISE TO ENHANCE INFORMATION
"Data visualization" or "graphical representation of data" is a visual summary of figures which can, more precisely, be defined as "information which has been abstracted in some schematic form, including attributes or var-
iables for the units of information"[1]. For example Histograms, Camemberts, Tables, and Trees are widely used at the moment to present LCA results. But there are over a hundred existing visualizations to choose from [2].
