Coverage includes a general introduction to LCA, procedural design and guidelines for best available practice for each of step of an LCA study, current operational models and data from the best available practice, and scientific background to the study, with reasoned justifications for the methodological choices.

Media reviews

From the reviews: "The Handbook on Life-Cycle Assessment is a guidance document and handbook, one that covers everything from the best choice of methods for all phases of an LCA study to detailed scientific discussion on methodological issues. ! The information given ! is very detailed. ! It provides 225 pages of tables of conversion factors, characterization factors, normalization factors, and so on. ! readers are entitled to high expectations given the impressive team of authors behind this book, and the assumed intended audience will not be disappointed." (Lars-Gunnar Lindfors, Journal of Industrial Ecology, Vol. 7 (2), 2003)
