Résumé : |
As facilities move progressively towards understanding the environmental footprints of their activities, the area of life cycle assessment (LCA) becomes the tool of choice. To remind the reader, the steps of an LCA can be summarised as follows :
- Scope and definition of the LCA
- The life cycle inventory (LCI)
- The life cycle inventory analysis
- Selection of analytical method
- Classification of impact categories
- Characterisation
- Normalisation
- Grouping
- Weighting
- Interpretation
In the LCI, the facility will be looking at the process and will be trying to ensure that it has the numbers that will be required for assessing inputs and gauging the impacts of the outputs. This article will explore why machinery and equipment must be considered part of the LCI. |
