Principal Investigator Richard Roth

Co-investigators Elsa Olivetti , Frank Field , Randolph Kirchain , Joel Clark


The goal of this work is to explore several major analytical variations of LCA implementations and the implications of these variants across a range of application contexts. Specifically, this research examines analytical variations in valuation method and treatment of recycling by exploring allocation methods that affect product end-of-a-life.
