Life cycle thinking

Current thinking focuses on the production process. What goes on inside the piant, and what is under the direct controi of the business. It tends to ignore what happens, both upstream and downstream where and how the raw materials are sourced, and how the products are actually used. What is needed in the chemical industry is a shift to life-cycle thinking. [Pg.42]

Another way to view streamlining is through the application of the cradle-to-grave nature of LCA to look at products, processes, and activities in a more qualitative manner. This approach is also called using the life-cycle concept or life-cycle thinking. Life-cycle thinking requires the user to look upstream and downstream of the operation being studied, perhaps in an approach that combines quantitative and qualitative information. [Pg.103]

The concept of life-cycle thinking and the use of LCA can help provide a thorough picture of the environmental footprint for given decisions. Life-cycle thinking considers the cradle-to-grave implication of an action, and some of the benefits include the following ... [Pg.698]

Products and processes all have a natural life cycle. For example, the life cycle of a product starts from the extraction of raw materials for its production and ends when the product is finally disposed. In the production, use and disposal of this product, energy is consumed and wastes and emissions are generated. A life-cycle assessment is an analysis in which the use of energy and materials are quantified and the potential environmental and societal impacts are predicted. Life-cycle thinking is progressively being adopted by industry as an... [Pg.254]
