Hybrid Life-Cycle Inventory for Road Construction and Use

Life-cycle assessment ~LCA! is a technique that is used worldwide by clients and their design team to assess the impact of their projects on the environment. The main advantage of LCA is in supporting decision making with quantitative data. LCA inventories can be either fully developed or streamlined. Fully developed LCAs are time-consuming and costly to prepare. Streamlined LCAs can be used as...

Foamy polystyrene trays for fresh-meat packaging: A life-cycle inventory data

Agricultural data for Life Cycle Assessments

On a world scale, a net transport of P to the oceans occurs, maintained by weathering of minerals and by erosion. The soil plays a different role regarding phosphorus in different agricultural systems. Without adding fertilisers, a soil can supply P for a limited time, by weathering or by mineralisation of indigenous organic matter. When a higher productivity is aimed at, fertilisers have to be...

III Agricultural data for life cycle assessments

An inventory for Life Cycle Analysis of agricultural products must address questions of representatively and coherence of models. This paper discusses the possibilities of modelling the input and production of typical farms to establish inventories that are consistent with higher level statistical information. Energy use has been modelled for typical Danish farms and compared with the national ...

Life Cycle Inventory Analysis of Recycling: Mathematical and Graphical Frameworks

A mathematical framework of the life cycle inventory (LCI) analysis in life cycle assessment (LCA) of recycling is systematically reviewed with the aid of graphical interpretation. First, the zero burden approach, which has been applied to LCI analyses of waste management systems, is theoretically justified in terms of relative comparison of waste management options. As recycling is a multi-fun...
