Life Cycle Assessment “Which is more Sustainable?”

  • Using mathematical models to

quantify environmental, social, and economic impacts.

  • Often used to compare impacts of

a small set of products or processes.

  • We need to use models that are

consistent across industries. Comparing Apples to Apples.

Designing and evaluating a “green” shoe

1. Check out your own shoes a. What are they made of? Write a list of components. b. What inputs and outputs would you expect for your shoe? 2. Review literature on sustainable shoe design 3. Examine given data for leather, synthetic, bioproduct shoe. 4. Develop a simple model for comparing the 3 shoes. 5. Discuss and compare models.
