Life cycle sustainability assessment

Since an assessment on the level of the material is not complete, an assessment on the level of products is required, which covers all life cycle phases, i.e. production, use and end-of-Ufe. Such a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCS) should be the core of an assessment, while it has to be completed by a variety of other tools, which address e.g. compliance with local emission limits and consumer protection regulations. Legal compliance requires other efforts than an overall sustainability assessment. Since compliance is an issue companies have to... [Pg.15]

Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) adds two elements to an environmental LCA social and economic factors. The term refers to "the evaluation of all environmental, social and economic negative impacts and benefits in decision-making processes towards more sustainable products throughout their life cycle" [93]. [Pg.35]

LCA concepts are applied in various contexts. Life cycle thinking or perspective incorporates LCA principles into the design or optimization of a product in order to minimize and balance the possible impacts. Life cycle sustainability assessment adds social and economic factors to LCA. Finally, certain regulations reflect elements of LCA, as we explore in Chapter 3. [Pg.39]
