Life Cycle Assessment And Environmental Impact of Polymeric Products

Life-cycle analysis is a technique used to quantify the environmental impact of products during their entire life cycle. This review describes the process of life cycle analysis in some detail. It explains the factors to be considered, the terminology, the organisations involved in developing these techniques and the legislation which is driving the whole process forward. The ISO standards relating to environmental management are also discussed briefly in the document. This review is accompanied by summaries of selected papers on life cycle analysis and environmental impact from the Rapra Polymer Library database.O'neill, Tom J. is the author of 'Life Cycle Assessment And Environmental Impact of Polymeric Products ' with ISBN 9781859573648 and ISBN 1859573649.
