TE004 Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability Metrics
OverviewPapers are desired in the area of life cycle assessment, with a focus on sustainability. In particular, interesting papers will consider which indicators apply to sustainable processes and products. Papers that present metrics for measured life cycle systems, and tie the results to sustainability are strongly desired.
