Overview of publications in the "miniseries" about life-cycle perspectives and assessments

About the mini series

The "mini series" about life-cycle perspectives and life-cycle assessments is published as part of the Environmental Protection Agency series Miljønyt. Taken as a whole, the publications in the "mini series" will provide support for companies, organisations, authorities, and others who wish to address environmental issues from a life-cycle perspective.

Along with previous publications on methods and tools for life-cycle assessment – particularly the EDIP books from 1996 – the mini series forms a set of tools which will eventually provide guidelines and advice on life-cycle efforts on all levels and for all situations. As part of the concept, some of the simpler methods and tools will be based on the EDIP method. This simple approach makes it possible to carry out straightforward life-cycle-based work which can subsequently form part of more detailed LCA work if the need arises. If detailed statements and assessments have been made, such work can also form the basis for e.g. a series of simple assessments.
