Hfe-cycle assessment

Full hfe-cycle assessment, a comprehensive method to analyze the environmental attributes of the entire fife cycle of a product, requires environmental engineering expertise. Life cycle assessment is described in Section 4.3.

There is general agreement that, if one seeks to minimize the environmental consequences of a product, it is necessary to examine the entire hfe cycle of the product, since decisions based on a single factor, such as recyclabflity, may be erroneous. For example, a plastic product that is more easily recycled may or may not have a net overall environmental benefit as compared with an alternative plastic product that cannot be recycled effectively but uses significantly less material. The technique of hfe cycle assessment has been developed in part to aid in such tough decisions. There is considerable interest in hfe cycle assessment (LC A), but applying it effectively remains very difficult. The fundamental problem is... 

Efficient operation of the materials cycle is facUitated using an input/output inventory for the hfe-cycle assessment of a product. Materials and energy are the input parameters, whereas outputs include usable products, water effluents, air emissions, and solid wastes (Figure 22.2).
