Resource and environmental profile analysis: A life cycle environmental assessment for products and procedures

A life-cycle assessment of Portland cement manufacturing: comparing the traditional process with alternative technologies

“…The LCA methodology used in this study follows the stages outlined by International Organization for Standards (ISO) 14040 [17], as well as those described by Allen and Shonnard [2], Owens [23], Curran [4], and Hunt et al [15]. The four major stages of the LCA applied in this study include:…”

Evaluation of life cycle inventory results using critical volume aggregation and polygon-based interpretation

“…The first life cycle analysis of products was initiated in the USA in 1969 under Coca-Cola's sponsorship. The purpose of this study was to compare different beverage containers to determine which produced the fewest effects on the environment [31]. This concept became known as a resource and environmental profile analysis and, between 1970 and 1978, a number of similar studies were conducted in the USA.…”

Processes, Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sediments

“…Risk managers can use NEBA to consider the range of environmental cost/ benefits associated with each remedial alternative to make more informed decisions (Efroymson et al, 2004). NEBA can be used to achieve a more complete assessment of an action, a product, and/or a technology (Hunt et al, 1992). NEBA seeks to integrate the positive and negative aspects of an environmental action, such as sediment remediation, beyond consideration of chemical risks.…”
