8 LCA (3)

8 LCA (3) 2003

 
 The title page refers to the article on the evaluation and comparison of two simplified LCA methods (p. 119 - 128). These are the MECO-method (MECO: Materials, Energy, Chemicals and Others) and the ERPA-matrix (ERPA: Environmentally Responsible Product Assessment). The methods were chosen since they are well documented and fundamentally different. They were tested on a case study of electric cars and cars with combustion fuel. The paper discusses the usefulness of simplified LCA methods. Cover design: Edwin Grondinger.
