摘要: Abstract Identification and assessment of environmental aspects are crucial to an management system, since significant decisive for other parts the system. Stringency transparency in identification necessary if this process is be reproducible. Reproducibility turn important credibility entire A survey processes within integrated forest product company Stora Enso has shown inadequacies regarding reproducibility. Positive features areas improvement have been identified. The results basis development a new, more reproducible method. This paper includes approach new method that focuses on process. based life cycle methodology according international standards ISO 14040-42 documentation format 14048. aggregated classification characterisation into impact categories. categories then used as operations performance indicators.
