Module 2 - Life-Cycle Concepts and Assessment Abstract
In this module students will learn that the environmental impact of products extends beyond production to material extraction, product use, and end-of use strategies. Students will explore the life-cycles of a variety of example products. Strategies for assessing the impact of each life-cycle stage will be presented and the students will explore the advantages and challenges associated with each.
Additional Material Available
