Metrics for optimising the multi-dimensional value of resources recovered from waste in a circular economy: A critical review (2017, methodology): “Frameworks, methods and tools commonly used to support decision-makers when evaluating SWM and/or RRfW processes and systems include, amongst others, the LCA, cost-benefit analysis (CBA) (Begum et al., 2006; Clift et al., 2000; da Cruz et al., 2014; Djukic et al., 2016; Varouchakis et al., 2016; Wan”
Systems Thinking for Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment: A Review of Recent Developments, Applications, and Future Perspectives (2017, methodology): “[1] emphasized the importance of the IO analysis for the future of LCSA and discussed the necessity of system-based sustainability assessment methods including hybrid LCA and IO LCA.”
Towards Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Alternative Passenger Vehicles (2014, methodology): “According to a recent article on the past, present and future of LCA, the period between 2010 and 2020 is known as the “decade of life cycle sustainability assessment” [39].”
Sensitivity coefficient-based uncertainty analysis for multi-functionality in LCA (2014, background): “Multi-functionality is still one of the most controversial issues of LCA (e.g., Finnveden et al. 2009; Guinée et al. 2011).”
Exploring the Current Challenges and Opportunities of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (2019, background): “[32], then broadened the scope from primarily product-related subjects (product level) to subjects related to a sector (sector level) or to a whole economy.”
Sustainable (2014, neutral): “LCA models can reveal the causal relationship between human activities and environmental consequences [8].”
Green economy and related concepts: An overview (2016, positive): “It is also possible to integrate environmental, economic and social aspects with the concept of Life Cycle Sustainability assessment (LCSA) (Guinée et al., 2011; Heijungs, 2010; Hoogmartens et al., 2014) to have an overall picture of the impacts.”
