Distance-to-target weighting in LCA-A matter of perspective

Marco Muhl et al.

Summary: Purpose weighting can provide valuable support for decision-makers in interpreting LCA results. The study aims to understand the influence of different countries and regions on weighting results. Significant differences were found in the obtained weighting results, with acidification being highly important and water-scarce countries having a significant influence in the case study.

Using life cycle assessment to achieve a circular economy

Claudia Pena et al.

Summary: The current global interest in circular economy presents an opportunity to improve society's resource efficiency and sustainability in consumption and production. However, there is a lack of harmonized methods to assess the sustainability impacts of specific CE strategies. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a well-suited method for evaluating the sustainability impacts of CE strategies, but there are still challenges to be addressed in using LCA as an assessment methodology for CE.
