tailieunhanh - Environmental Impact of Products (EIPRO) Analysis of the life cycle environmental impacts related to the final consumption of the EU-25

As well as pioneering a new, broader definition of environmental goods and services, this report has expanded the scope of analysis to include activities within the broader environmental supply chain as well as activities across the full environmental value chain ‐ including R&D, design and development, installation, manufacturing, supply, distribution, retail, maintenance, operations, consultancy and support services. This inclusion is similar to the way other sectors of the economy, such as aerospace, are measured. The report includes an assessment of the potential impact of growth in particular LCEGS products and activities on the manufacturing base. The definition we have used includes manufacturing, processing, fabrication, construction and the related sales and marketing activities. (Supply, distribution and maintenance are classed as service or pre‐production research and development and prototyping. These are separated out at Level 5.) This focus on manufacturing also naturally provides information on the economic impact of the service sector, allowing comparisons between the different sub‐sectors regarding their manufacturing and service activities. . | TECHNICAL REPO Environmental Impact of Products EIPRO Analysis of the life cycle environmental impacts related to the final consumption of the EU-25 EUR 22284 EN EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL Joint Research Centre European Science and Technology Observatory Institute for 4 Prospective Technological Studies The mission of the IPTS is to provide customer-driven support to the EU policy-making process by researching science-based responses to policy challenges that have both a socio-economic as well as a scientific technological dimension. IPTS Networks Since its creation in 1994 access to high quality expertise has been at the core of the I PTS s development strategy. Only through its networks can an institute the size of the I PTs hope to provide high-quality advice at the European level over the whole range of policy fields in which the Institute operates. As a result the IPTS has established a number of networks most notably ESTO which enable it to access such expertise. The ESTO Network the European Science and Technology Observatory ESTO is a valuable mechanism for complementing and expanding the Institute s internal capabilities. ESTO has a core membership of around 20 institutions all with experience in the field of scientific and technological foresight forecasting or assessment at the national level. The role of ESTO has been to engage in monitoring and analysing scientific and technological developments and their relation and interaction with society.
