A Sustainability Assessment of a Biolubricant [PDF]

Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2003
Summary A sustainability matrix has been developed at Shell Global Solutions to show the environmental, social, and economic impacts of a product. The approach aims to be quicker and more cost‐effective than a conventional life‐cycle assessment by focusing on specific areas of concern through the product life cycle and then comparing ...
