摘要：

Life cycle inventory (LCI) quantifies the energy requirements and emissions associated with specific packages and/or products. The unique feature of the analysis is its focus on the entire life of a product, from raw material extraction to consumer use to final disposition, rather than on a single manufacturing step or environmental emission. The principals of Franklin Associates, Ltd. have been performing LCIs, also known as Resource and Environmental Profile Analyses (REPAs), for the past 20 years. Procter & Gamble (P&G) scientists have been using LCI to analyze their feedstocks, processes, packaging, and products since the late 1980s. Current worldwide environmental concerns have made LCI a useful tool for prioritizing efforts, goal setting, and measuring environmental quality improvement. Three P&G case studies conducted by Franklin Associates will be discussed to illustrate the usefulness of LCI in identifying environmental quality improvement opportunities.
