Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) - Quo vadis? (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1996)

LCA - Quo vadis? discusses overarching topics, new developments and major problems of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and compares LCA with site-specific environmental management. The text profits from two years of interdisciplinary, coordinated research activities of the Priority Programme Environment of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
How should system boundaries of a product life cycle be drawn? .
How can environmental interventions be allocated to products? .
How are background inventory data collected and used? .
How can imprecision in the LCA method be ascertained and checked? .
How can relevant environmental interventions be distinguished from irrelevant ones? .
What requirements should a software tool for LCA meet? A concept of site-specific LCA is proposed in response to criticism of the current approach of LCA. Furthermore, managerial eco-controlling - the emerging method of site-specific environmental management - is discussed. The book concludes with an outlook of possible paths in the future development of LCA.
