Main Objectives of the Assessment:
Assess the use of LCA to highlight critical issues for the development in a particular product. Assess knowledge of the assumptions made in streamlined LCA.
Apply the LCA method with awareness of its strengths and weaknesses. Apply design strategies and approaches (eco-design, design for behavior change, product-service system design) to design an alternative solution (product or product-service system) to reduce environmental impact. Assess proposed improvements to the design with the use of LCA.
