This contributed volume offers several cases in life cycle assessment (LCA) and implementation of circular economy principles across different industries. LCA is a tool which is utilized to measure the environmental footprints of various products from inception through disposal. Circular economy, a related concept, presents a meaningful alternative to a traditional linear economy as it seeks possible ways to reduce waste, recover resources at the end of a product's life, and channel them back into production, thus significantly reducing environmental impacts. LCA and CE complement each other, as the former can be used to meaningfully assess possibilities for the latter. The combination of the principles of CE and LCA enable product developers to quantify the environmental performance of various products, processes and supply chain configurations in order to make progress toward sustainability.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書匯編提供了幾個生命週期評估（LCA）案例，以及在不同產業中實施循環經濟原則的實例。LCA 是一種工具，用於衡量各種產品從創建到處置的環境足跡。循環經濟是一個相關概念，作為傳統線性經濟的有意義替代方案，它尋求減少廢物、在產品生命結束時回收資源並將其重新投入生產的可能方法，從而顯著減少環境影響。LCA 和循環經濟（CE）相輔相成，前者可以用來有意義地評估後者的可能性。CE 和 LCA 原則的結合使產品開發者能夠量化各種產品、流程和供應鏈配置的環境表現，以便在可持續性方面取得進展。
