Abstract

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) assesses the environmental performance of products through their entire life cycle. LCA-based decision-making usually focuses on environmental impact, omitting other considerations, such as customer expectations and economic aspects. Although the environmental performances of industrial systems are highly dependent on operating conditions (e.g. local context, accessibility of resources), LCA usually integrates generic data. The aim of this chapter is to provide an integrated framework to identify the solutions best suited to a specific context, considering environmental, economic and commercial aspects.
