Industrial ecology in the strategic sustainable development model (2004, background): “Note how LCA is usually used as a technical and analytical tool to quantify the physical flows of matter and energy along a given product’s life cycle, from cradle to grave (for discussion, see [97]).”
Slower Consumption Reflections on Product Life Spans and the “Throwaway Society” (2005, background): “Life-Cycle Thinking If product life spans need to be increased in order to progress toward sustainable consumption, as suggested in the model above, the trend toward “life-cycle thinking” is highly relevant (e.g., Heiskanen 2002).”
Social life cycle assessment of biodiesel production at three levels: a literature review and development needs (2013, background): “As noted above, adopting a life cycle spirit fits in with the angle of a ‘social planner’ (Heiskanen, 2002).”
Industrial ecology, life cycles, supply chains: differences and interrelations (2004, methodology): “The actors involved in inter-organizational environmental management are embedded into an environment where stakeholders are important (Freeman, 1984), so they are also seen as relevant actors that form part of the actor network.”
