Assessing the Environmental Impact of Products

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Approaches to assessing the environmental impact of products are reviewed. The requirements in such assessments are identified, and the advantages and disadvantages of the existing methods are noted. Ecobalance methods are found to be best. This approach involves the assessment of the product’s environmental risk index by means of the environmental safety index of the material employed.
