Uncertainty propagation of input–output and process-based life cycle inventories at different aggregation levels
Environmental mitigation potential of waste-to-nutrition pathways
ENvironmental Success under Uncertainty and Risk (Ensure): A procedure for probability evaluation in ex-ante LCA
In a context of ecological emergency, ex-ante Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can be used to prioritize investments into technological concepts that are expected to make human activities less damaging to ecosystems and humans. Yet forecasts about the future environmental success of technological concepts come with high incertitude and require careful appraisal of the distinct levels of knowledge associated with the technology's indeterminacies. This …
Environmental performance of eco‐design strategies applied to the building sector
The application of eco‐design principles in the building sector is considered a promising way to mitigate its substantial environmental impacts. However, quantitative evidence for this mitigation potential is lacking. The objective of this study was to quantify the environmental performance of diverse eco‐design strategies when applied to the building sector. A macroscale model capable of simulating the future demand for housing and related mater…
Model uncertainty versus variability in the life cycle assessment of commercial fisheries
Results from life cycle assessment (LCA) studies are sensitive to modeling choices and data used in building the underlying model. This is also relevant for the case of fisheries and LCAs of fish products. Fisheries' product systems show both multifunctionality because of the simultaneous co‐catch of multiple species and potential constraints to supply due to natural stock limits or socially established limits such as quota systems. The performan…
Using quantitative storytelling to identify constraints in resource supply: The case of brown seaweed
Seaweed is increasingly considered a promising resource to produce high‐value products such as bioplastics due to potential environmental benefits such as carbon uptake and no land‐use change. However, the environmental assessment of emerging technologies for producing bioplastic from seaweed remains challenging due to the difficulties in modeling future seaweed supply and demand. Within the consequential approach to life cycle assessment, an inc…
Sustainability standards and blockchain in agro-food supply chains: Synergies and conflicts
Blockchain-based technologies have emerged as a mechanism for governing sustainability in agro-food supply chain, where voluntary sustainability standards have been the main governance mechanisms over the past decades. Despite a growing body of research on blockchain-based technologies, the relationship between these two mechanisms for supply chains remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims at addressing this research gap and explaini…
Digitizing a sustainable future
How Lack of Knowledge and Tools Hinders the Eco-Design of Buildings—A Systematic Review
The building sector is responsible for extensive resource consumption and waste generation, resulting in high pressure on the environment. A way to potentially mitigate this is by including environmental considerations during building design through the concept known as eco-design. Despite the multiple available approaches of eco-design, the latter is not easily achieved in the building sector. The objective of this paper is to identify and discu…
Methodological review and detailed guidance for the life cycle interpretation phase
Life cycle interpretation is the fourth and last phase of life cycle assessment (LCA). Being a “pivot” phase linking all other phases and the conclusions and recommendations from an LCA study, it represents a challenging task for practitioners, who miss harmonized guidelines that are sufficiently complete, detailed, and practical to conduct its different steps effectively. Here, we aim to bridge this gap. We review available literature describing…
Extending the Multiregional Input‐Output Framework to Labor‐Related Impacts: A Proof of Concept
Given the high potential shown by the recent developments in environmentally extended and multiregional input‐output (I‐O) analysis, a natural step would be to extend this theoretical framework beyond the environmental dimension to include the social dimension, in line with parallel advancements in social life cycle assessment. The ideal results would be a multiregional I‐O database to investigate not only environmental footprints, but also socia…
Life Cycle Assessment and the Resilience of Product Systems
Resilience is the capacity of systems to withstand and recover from disturbance. It depends on the structure and architecture of a system and plays a key role for the sustainability of complex systems. Despite its importance, resilience is not explicitly taken into account by studies of life cycle assessment (LCA), whose main objective is determining the eco‐efficiency of a product system, with limited focus on its structure. The question is whet…
