Abstract
The life cycle analysis of a product enables one to assess its environ mental quality. A simple, transparent method taking into account the p rocesses of recycling in the life cycle is developed here. It permits dealing with all types of open loops of all sectors. The principles on which the proposed method is grounded are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevie r Science B.V.
