Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a technique for assessing various
aspects associated with development of product and its potential
impact throughout its life [3,4]. LCA includes definition of goal
and scope, inventory analysis, impact assessment and interpretation
of results [3,5–7]. The goal and scope definition describes the
underlying question (objective), the system, its boundaries and the
definition of a functional unit. The flows of pollutants, materials
and resources are recorded in inventory analysis. These elementary
flows (emissions, resource consumption, etc.) are characterized and
aggregated for different environmental problems in impact assessment
and finally conclusions are drawn in interpretation stage. LCA
applications are comparisons of different products and systems, or
different materials production or recycling methods. LCA can be
used as a tool to detect potentials for improvements with the aim
to reduce the impact on human health, environment and resource
depletion.
