Handbook on Life Cycle Assessment : Operational Guide to the ISO Standards

The general aim of this "Handbook on LCA" is to provide a stepwise 'cookbook' with operational guidelines for conducting an LCA study step-by-step, justified by a scientific background document, based on the ISO Standards for LCA.

The different ISO elements and requirements are made operational to the 'best available practice' for each step.

This book will appeal to persons from a wide range of scientific disciplines working in industry, in government, as consultants, or at university, who are interested in learning more about LCA and in performing LCA studies.

It will be of especial interest to students and researchers in the field of LCA, industrial ecology, and those interested in environmental sciences in general.
