Life-cycle Analysis

Exercise 15.8.1: Materials Life Cycle Analysis
Not Currently Assigned

Take about 5 minutes to complete this assignment.


  1. In the life-cycle analysis we showed in the slides, we mention the general outputs of the life-cycle. We list "other impacts". These outputs can have effect on the environment, economy, or society.

    Come up with three other, more specific, outputs during a materials life-cycle and provide some examples (one environmental, one societal, one economic) for a specific material. Classify these outputs as positive or negative.
