Life cycle assessment and simplified life cycle costing on Industrial Symbiosis

摘要: This paper adopts the life cycle thinking as approach to assess economic and environmental performances of industrial symbiosis. A detailed guidance implementing LCA on symbiosis under four research purposes: accounting symbiosis, existing exploring comparing design options is presented. 19 scenarios two firms interacting with each other are analyzed in detail regarding choice functional 6unit, determination alternatives quantification material flows. Symbiosis considered a multifunctional process, which enables comparison options. contributes develop framework costing (LCC) The equation calculating LCC from perspective steps procedures this illustrated case study definitions unit applied, shows benefits costs savings can achieve. assessment diagram flows well monetary physical parameters designed visually reflect relevant information LCA. Simplifying approach, essence necessity having an integrated discussed. While future researches recommended deepening study, broadening methodology incorporating consequential approaches.
