Abstract

As a typical LCA study, the “Feldschlosschen” case aims to show the environmental effects caused over the life cycle of beer. This chapter documents the three steps of goal definition, inventory analysis and impact assessment. For impact assessment the two methods of ecopoints (Umweltbelastungspunkte, UBP) and CML are applied: the “environmental scarcity method” as a fully quantified, one-step valuation method (for a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages see Braunschweig et al. 1994), and the CML method (Heijungs et al. 1992).
