| Abstract: | The conclusions about the development of the content of the LC Initiative are the following:
| – |
A specific niche for the Life Cycle Initiative has developed, compared with the role of SETAC, the International Society of
Industrial Ecology (ISIE) and ISO.
|
| – |
The aims of the initiative have step by step been extended, by bringing the initiative at a world level, by including both
LCI and LCIA, and by including a program on Life Cycle Management (LCM).
|
| – |
In the LCM program due attention is to be given to other tools and approaches than quantitative LCA which are relevant for
life-cycle thinking in general, and also to the other two dimensions of sustainability, i.e. the social and economic dimensions.
|
| – |
A number of important questions regarding the scope of the initiative and the methodological set-up have been in-depth discussed,
thus resulting in a clear basis for the technical content of work to come.
|
| – |
Three definition studies will now be implemented which will define the work program for the three programs of the initiative;
these studies will be finalised by the end of 2002.
