Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool for the implementation of the ECODESIGN. In this chapter, the environmental aspects of a product are assessed using LCA. An LCA is based on entire life cycle stages of a product spanning from the use of raw materials to the end of life stage. The product for LCA was defined in chapter 1, product modeling.

This book is a uniquely pedagogical while still comprehensive state-of-the-art description of LCA-methodology and its broad range of applications. The five parts of the book conveniently provide: I) the history and context of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with its central role as quantitative and scientifically-based tool supporting society's ...

Exergetic life cycle assessment
2007Publisher Summary Society has become increasingly concerned about the issues of natural resource depletion and environmental degradation. The environmental performance of products and processes has become an important concern, leading many companies to investigate ways to reduce or minimize their impacts on the environment.

Environmental life-cycle assessment
Nature Materials, 2017Concerns about the planet's health call for a careful evaluation of the environmental impact of materials choices. Life-cycle assessment is a tool that can help identify sustainable materials pathways by considering the burdens of materials both during production and as a product.

Life Cycle Assessment of electronics
2014 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech), 2014Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology for assessing the environmental aspects and potential impacts throughout a product's life cycle from raw materials and energy extraction, components manufacture, assembly, distribution and sale, use and final end-of-life treatment such as disposal, recycling and energy recovery (i.e. cradle-to-grave).

Life Cycle Assessment of Biofuels
2021Life cycle assessment (LCA) assesses the environmental burdens or impacts of products from cradle to grave. It is also possible to assess such burdens or impacts for parts of the life cycle. A brief overview is given of LCA methodology. A number of choices have to be made in the goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, and impact assessment ...

Life Cycle Assessment: Past, Present, and Future
Environmental Science & Technology, 2010Environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) has developed fast over the last three decades. Whereas LCA developed from merely energy analysis to a comprehensive environmental burden analysis in the 1970s, full-fledged life cycle impact assessment and life cycle costing models were introduced in the 1980s and 1990 s, and social-LCA and particularly ...

Application of life cycle assessment to footwear
The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 1998Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been applied in the leather footwear industry. Due to the fact that the goal of the study is to point those steps in the footwear cycle which contribute most to the total environmental impact, only a simplified semi-quantitative methodology is used.

Life-Cycle Assessment Modelling and Life-Cycle Assessment Evaluation of a Triboelement
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 2010A procedure based on digraph and matrix method is developed for modelling and evaluation of life-cycle assessment (LCA) of a triboelement. LCA parameters of a triboelement are identified and are called LCA attributes. Consideration of these attributes and their interrelations is rudiment in modelling and evaluation of LCA index ...
