99
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework for the assessment of environmental impacts of products and services based on functional unit definition, inventory, impact assessment, and evaluation, which can all be improved considerably: economic notions should be taken into account; mass balances need to check; classifications should be transparent, and/or focus on a few indicators.

A socio-eco-efficiency analysis of integrated and non-integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems in the Brazilian Cerrado based on LCA
Marcela P. Costa,Jan C. Schoeneboom,Sueli Aparecida de Oliveira,Rafael S. Viñas,Gerson Araujo de Medeiros +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a holistic sustainability evaluation using life cycle assessment to compare combinations of integrated and conventional systems in the Brazilian Cerrado region, and assesses a comprehensive set of indicators in the three sustainability dimensions: environmental, economic, and social (socio-eco-efficiency).
Life cycle costing for innovations in product chains
TL;DR: In this paper, a decision support model is used to compare compliance and preventative corporate strategies regarding the far-reaching emission reduction in the supply chain of products, and a distinction is made between consumption of the short-cycle and durable products.

Alexander Hollberg
- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: The application of the novel method called Parametric Life Cycle Assessment to three examples shows that building designs can be optimized time-efficiently and holistically from the beginning of the most influential early design stages, an achievement which has not been possible until now.
It's Complicated: Corporate Sustainability and the Uneasiness of Life Cycle Assessment
TL;DR: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a technique and field of expertise aimed at modeling the complete "cradle-to-grave" life of goods and services, as well as their multiple impacts on environmental and human well-being.

Life cycle analysis: A critique
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize process data using models based on the laws of thermodynamics and chemistry, which can be used to forecast future materials/energy fluxes on regional and global scales, as a function of various economic growth and regulatory scenarios.
