From Life Cycle Assessment to Life Cycle Management

摘要: Summary Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a widely accepted methodology to support decision-making processes in which one compares alternatives, and that helps prevent shifting of environmental burdens along the value chain or among impact categories. According regulation European Union (EU), movement waste needs be reduced and, if unavoidable, gain from specific treatment option requiring transport must larger than losses arising transport. The EU explicitly recommends use LCA life thinking for formulation new management plans. In last two revisions Industrial Waste Management Programme Catalonia (PROGRIC), approach policy was mandated. In this article we explain process developed arrive at practical (LCM) what started as an project. LCM principles have labeled “3/3” principle “good enough best” were found essential obtain simplified models are easy understand legislators industries, useful regulation, ultimately, feasible. article, present four options solvent addressed under Catalan industrial regulation. All involved actors concluded sufficiently robust, apply, accomplish aim limiting outside Catalonia, according proximity sufficiency.
