- Title
Towards an Integrated Family of Footprint Indicators.
- Authors
Ridoutt, Bradley G.; Pfister, Stephan
- Abstract
The article discusses the advantages of carbon footprinting using a product or service life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. It is asserted that many footprint indicators are not based on the well-established principles of LCA. Developing a universal footprint definition that is based on LCA while supporting the measurement of single-score, stand-alone indicators aligned with specific environmental concerns is suggested.
