 | 5 LCA (2) 2000 | | The MIIM LCA PhD Club. During 1998, the number
of completed PhDs on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) seemed to
be larger than any previous year. In order to mark this achieve-ment,
a special series is being published in this journal. In the
introductory paper (Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 175-179), the Class of
MIIM outlined the results of their research work over the last
few years. A number of common points and tendencies have
emerged through this work. First of all, the scope-dependency
of LCA models. Secondly, a number of theses focus on the
interaction between LCA and decision-making. Thirdly, the
benefits of pluralism in impact assessment and allocation have
been advocated. Further papers (pp. 85-95) map out the intel-lectual
journeys undertaken in the development of the theses
and discuss key findings in more detail. |
