Common mistake
Misunderstanding LCA Misuse
Students often think that all life cycle assessments (LCAs) are objective and unbiased, failing to recognize how selective or abbreviated LCAs can be manipulated to support specific claims.
To fix this, students should study examples of how LCAs can be selectively presented and practice identifying potential biases in LCA data.
