Abstract

- The incitements from society for life-cycle assessment (LCA) and credible ecolables are ever-increasingand often important for successful marketing of products. Robust assessment methods are important forcomparable, useful and trustworthy LCAs and ecolables. In order to improve the metrics of a product’secolable, is it important to fully understand its production system. Discrete Event Simulation (DES)models are able to provide more detailed information than traditional LCA approaches. Therefore,methods used to combining LCA in DES have been developed during the last decade. The combinedapproaches have matured and the experiences grown. This article compares six previous cases and aims tosummarize and discuss their experiences to aid future development. The results show where it isspecifically important to make good decisions throughout the modeling methodology, for example goaland scope definition, trustworthy input data for sensitive parts, and communicable impact categories.
