Life cycle iNdeX (LInX): a new indexing procedure for process and product design and decision-making
TLDR
In this article, a new life cycle indexing system is proposed, which will facilitate the LCA application in process and product evaluation and decision-making, which is comprised of four important sub-indices or attributes -environment, health and safety (EHS), cost, technical feasibility, and socio-political factors.About:
