Life cycle assessment has developed rapidly over the past 20 years into a technique for systematically identifying the resource flows and environmental impacts associated with providing products and services.

It has accelerated alongside the growing demand to assess and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across different manufacturing and service sectors.

This CSIRO book describes how it can be used as a problem-solving tool and outlines its distinctive strengths and limitations, with an emphasis on practice in Australia, as well as applying it in waste management, the built environment, water and agriculture.
