Lecture Notes

As we started, here's a life-cycle assessment for a t-shirt. So what are the results of life-cycle assessment? Well, it allows us to identify all of the environmental aspects of the entire life-cycle of the product or process we're working with and it allows us to focus on what really matters in the manufacture of the product or the process. Life-cycle assessment also allows us to study the flow in the production of a product or of a process. It allows us to define what's acceptable as we're looking at the stages in the product life-cycle. Finally, it allows use to compare between products or processes with similar functions.
