An application of hybrid life cycle assessment as a decision support framework for green supply chains

Comparing linear and circular supply chains: A case study from the construction industry

“…Difficulties may arise due to a number of factors such as the complexities of the supply chains (Beamon, 1999) as well as non-standardised data and geographical differences (Hervani et al, 2005;Lake et al, 2015).…”

“…In addition, LCA can be a decision support tool that helps businesses to ensure that their choices are environmentally sound (Lake et al, 2015).…”

“…Management strategies increasingly include usage of LCA for identifying environmental impacts and inefficiencies in resource use throughout the lifecycle of a product (Lake et al, 2015).…”

Measuring the environmental sustainability performance of global supply chains: A multi-regional input-output analysis for carbon, sulphur oxide and water footprints

“…As a result, a key principle of green supply chain management which requires complete supply chain representation is achieved (Carter and Easton 2011;Lake et al 2014). …”

“…Methodologies used to measure sustainability performance measurement are commonly based on the principles of lifecycle assessment (LCA) (Kissinger et al, 2011, Lake et al, 2014. Current LCA methodologies (Wiedmann and Minx 2007;Suh 2009;Kumar et al 2014) suggests that models developed using the input-output framework (Weber and Matthews 2007;Wiedmann 2009, Ibn-Mohammed et al 2013) provide a systematic assessment approach and an extended system boundary hence direct and indirect environmental impacts associated with activities can be comprehensively evaluated.…”
