Tag - Life Cycle Assessment of Electronics

Life cycle assessment is a cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-cradle analysis technique. It aims asses environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product’s life. This includes all from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, and use.

Researchers at Fraunhofer IZM analyze the entire life cycle of electronic products and product groups. They do this on the basis of standardized benchmarks and ISO norms and develop optimization proposals.
