A screening and simplified LCA method is essential necessary to include environmental aspects in the stage of Research and Development (R&D) of products and processes. An interactive, iterative and intergrative eco-design tool using the top-down approach in the identification of advanced materials is being developed in a joint project performed by six research institutes. The principles and methods as well as some examples for the validation of the screening LCA as well as its application in eco-design in case studies are presented in this article.
