Applying Life Cycle Assessment

摘要: Life cycle assessment (commonly known by its acronym LCA) is a useful sustainability tool and has many applications to support packaging decisions. In LCA, environmental impacts of product systems can be quantified in line with internationally accepted methodologies. With this knowledge, strategies identified adopted that achieve the most effective efficient outcomes, design optimised. This chapter provides general introduction understanding getting started particular for application product-packaging packaging-system design. One important insight LCA studies have potential dispel common myths about issues. Packaging LCAs sometimes show ‘rules thumb’ or ‘common sense solutions’ simply do not apply work practice.
