Why some LCA studies are "cradle to grave" and some are "cradle to gate"?
Posted: 21 Dec 2016 13:27
Hello everybody.
My question is why all life cycle assessment studies don't evaluateĀ entire life cycle of a product or process? I mean we see in literature some LCA studies just consider cradle to gate of a product. I want to know that what are the problems and restrictions which makeĀ researchers limit their LCA study to cradle to gate instead of cradle to grave?
Thanks in advance,
Meysam.
