LCA is a tool which is utilized to measure the environmental footprints of various products from inception through disposal. Circular economy, a related concept, presents a meaningful alternative to a traditional linear economy as it seeks possible ways to reduce waste, recover resources at the end of a product?s life, and channel them back into production, thus significantly reducing environmental impacts. LCA and CE complement each other, as the former can be used to meaningfully assess possibilities for the latter. The combination of the principles of CE and LCA enable product developers to quantify the environmental performance of various products, processes and supply chain configurations in order to make progress toward sustainability. 410 0$aEnvironmental Footprints and Eco-design of Products and Processes,$x2345-766X 606 $aSustainability 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal 606 $aSustainability 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 676 $a737 676 $a338.927 702 $aMuthu$b Subramanian Senthilkannan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736990703321 996 $aLife Cycle Assessment & Circular Economy$93427753 997 $aUNINA
