Sustainability is the ability to survive successfully. It pertains to the environmental, social and economical realms. Environmental footprint is the performance measurement of an activity or a product. Environmental impact categories may be either consumptions from or emissions to air, water and soil. The life cycle phases of a product are the series of stages from raw materials acquisition to final disposal. Life Cycle Assessment - per ISO 14040 - starts by defining the goal and scope. It ends by an adequate interpretation of the impact assessment. A case study is reviewed: the life cycle assessment framework of carrier supermarket bags in the United Kingdom, in 2006.

Abstract
Sustainability is the ability to survive successfully. It pertains to the environmental, social and economical realms. Environmental footprint is the performance measurement of an activity or a product. Environmental impact categories may be either consumptions from or emissions to air, water and soil. The life cycle phases of a product are the series of stages from raw materials acquisition to final disposal. Life Cycle Assessment - per ISO 14040 - starts by defining the goal and scope. It ends by an adequate interpretation of the impact assessment. A case study is reviewed: the life cycle assessment framework of carrier supermarket bags in the United Kingdom, in 2006.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
