  1. 1. Life Cycle Assessment and Decision Making: Theories and Practices

    Författare :Henrikke Baumann; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment; LCA practice; LCA methodology; LCA modelling; institutionalisation; LCA procedure; life cycle accounting; LCA; systems analysis; decision making;

    Sammanfattning : Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been in use to a varying extent since the late 1960s. The fact that LCA methodology needs further development is a frequently identified barrier to the further application of LCA. Consequently, the literature with suggestions for improving LCA methodology is extensive. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Towards Sustainable Use of Chemicals in the Textile Industry: How life cycle assessment can contribute

    Författare :Sandra Roos; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Toxicity; Textile; LCA; Chemicals; Impact assessment;

    Sammanfattning : The use of chemicals in the textile industry is a topic that has been given increasing attention in recent years. Hazardous chemicals are found in textile consumer products on a regular basis, and there is an increased awareness of the health and environmental impact caused by emissions of hazardous chemicals in the countries where textile production occurs.

  4. 3. Exploring the relevance of uncertainty in the life cycle assessment of forest products

    Författare :Frida Røyne; Mats Tysklind; Stina Jansson; Johanna Berlin; José Potting; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCA; wood; forestry; uncertainty; biorefinery; industrial symbiosis; allocation; system boundaries; bio-economy; LCA; trä; skogsbruk; osäkerhet; bioraffinaderi; industriell symbios; allokering; systemgränser; bioekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : The role of forest biomass as a replacement for fossil fuels and products is becoming increasingly prominent as a means to mitigate climate change. To guide a sustainable transition towards a forest-based bio-economy, it is important that advantages and disadvantages of forest products are assessed, to ensure that the products deliver environmental impact reduction.

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCA; ecotoxicology; uncertainty; antibiotics; aquaculture; pesticides; Ecotoxicology; ekotoxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Chemicals are being emitted into the environment through human activities, such as agriculture or animal husbandry. Emissions can either occur intentionally, as pesticide application of crops, or inadvertently, such as pharmaceutical residues in wastewater effluents. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Marketing for Life Cycle Thinking

    Författare :Emma Rex; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Green marketing; LCA practice; Organisational theory; Interpretive research; Industry practices; Life cycle thinking LCT ; Sensemaking; Life cycle management LCM ; Functionalist research; Environmental management;

    Sammanfattning : The concept of “life cycle thinking” creates possibilities for major improve¬ments in environ¬mental performance, but compels companies to look beyond their own immediate sites and operations to consider the broader picture of their products’ or services’ environmental impact. This thesis seeks to explore company attempts to implement such life cycle thinking (LCT), and how this connects with their self-inte¬rest in terms of market success. LÄS MER
