Ambiguities in Decision-oriented Life Cycle Inventories The Role of Mental Models and Values /
In an environmental life cycle assessment of products (LCA), an unambiguous, scientifically based, ‘objective’ attribution of material and energy flows to a product is pure fiction. This is due to the fundamental epistemological conditions of LCA as a modelling process under the complexity of our so...
