چکیده
Abstract Purpose In a context where the transition to circular economy is increasingly required, it necessary clarify relationship between sustainability and circularity. this commentary we summarise what are circularity indicators LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), discuss their potential role in improving decision making. Methods Based on literature, focus how could be used making presented. Moreover, an analysis of recent studies has been carried out identify indicators. Results discussion We can state that no authors have concluded alone choose best option projects. This because only provide partial view environmental performance system. At same time, appears easier communicate, high degree help build good relationships with customers increase reputation among stakeholders, as well access funding. Conclusions recommendations end, propose procedure include both measurement assessment strategies. While still at early stage conceptualisation, gives idea integrate aspects into initiatives.

متن کاملMultiscale Life-Cycle Assessment
A streamlined life-cycle assessment (SLCA) is typically performed at the scale of the completed product. One could also, however, perform SLCAs on components or subsystems (moving down in scale) or on all a corporation’s products (moving up in scale). By analogy with biological ecology, it seems likely that analyses at different scales would ask different questions and reveal different insights...
