Methods for global sensitivity analysis in Life Cycle Assessment
The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2017Co-Authors: Evelyne A. Groen, Reinout Heijungs, Eddie A.m. Bokkers, Imke J. M. BoerAbstract:Input parameters required to quantify environmental impact in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can be uncertain due to e.g. temporal variability or unknowns about the true value of emission factors. Uncertainty of environmental impact can be analysed by means of a global sensitivity analysis to gain more insight into output variance. This study aimed to (1) give insight into and (2) compare methods for global sensitivity analysis in Life Cycle Assessment, with a focus on the inventory stage.

Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment
Nature Materials, 2017Co-Authors: Randolph E. Kirchain Jr, Jeremy R. Gregory, Elsa A. OlivettiAbstract:Concerns about the planet's health call for a careful evaluation of the environmental impact of materials choices. Life-Cycle Assessment is a tool that can help identify sustainable materials pathways by considering the burdens of materials both during production and as a product.

Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment
Nature Materials, 2017Co-Authors: Randolph E. Kirchain Jr, Jeremy R. Gregory, Elsa A. OlivettiAbstract:Social and Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (SELCA) is an an- alytical tool for profiling and evaluating the interaction between the social and technological systems within the Life Cycle of given ser- vice. Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (ELCA) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) are underraken with their own objectives using independent methodologies. Integrating the outcomes of the two Assessments provides more comprehensive and insightful de- scriptions of the potential impacts of a Life Cycle, including the key social factors through which the Life Cycle is sustained and modified. The SELCA approach is outlined using the examples of two fuel cy- cles of coal and waste in energy-generation. There are some methodological issues in combining ELCA and SLCA which we highlight in order to encourage further work on the integration of environmental and social processes in LCA.

Life-Cycle Assessment: inventory guidelines and principles
Trends in Food Science & Technology, 1995Co-Authors: D. J. BrownAbstract:This document describes the three components of a Life-Cycle Assessment (inventory analysis, impact analysis, and improvement analysis) as well as scoping activies, presents a brief overview of the development of the Life-Cycle Assessment process, and develops guidelines and principles for implementation of a product Life Cycle Assessment. The major stages in a Life Cycle are raw materials acquisition, manufacturing, consumer use/reuse/maintenance, and reCycle/waste management. The basic steps of performing a Life-Cycle inventory are presented along with the general issues to be addressed. The system boundaries, assumptions, and conventions to be addressed in each stage of the invbentory are presented.
