Excerpt

Life cycle assessments and life-cycle-thinking-based footprints aim at supporting management decisions (ISO 2006), traditionally at the level of products and processes, and increasingly at larger scales such as organizations, sectors, and territories (Hellweg and Milà i Canals 2014; ISO 2014; Forin et al. 2019a). Such large systems often come along with large-scale inventories, according to the reference flow or reporting unit chosen. At the same time, several impact assessment methods use a marginal characterization approach, which assumes “sufficiently small” inventories that do not change the background situation, without providing alternatives for “larger” inventories that might affect the background. …
