Esta primera guía práctica para la Evaluación del Ciclo de ISO-compliant de Vida (ACV) hace que esta poderosa herramienta inmediatamente accesible a los profesionales y estudiantes. Tras una introducción general sobre la filosofía y el propósito de LCA, el lector se toma a través de todas las etapas de un análisis completo de LCA, con cada paso ejemplificado por los datos de la vida real de un importante proyecto de LCA sobre envases de bebidas. Medidas como la huella de carbono y agua, con base en las más recientes normas y definiciones internacionales, se abordan.

Esta primera guía práctica para la Evaluación del Ciclo de ISO-compliant de Vida (ACV) hace que esta poderosa herramienta inmediatamente accesible a los profesionales y estudiantes. Tras una introducción general sobre la filosofía y el propósito de LCA, el lector se toma a través de todas las etapas de un análisis completo de LCA, con cada paso ejemplificado por los datos de la vida real de un importante proyecto de LCA sobre envases de bebidas. Medidas como la huella de carbono y agua, con base en las más recientes normas y definiciones internacionales, se abordan.
