    Gives guidance on how to compile an inventory for the end-of-life phase in LCA of bio-based products.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Technical Report provides guidance on how to compile an inventory for the end-of-life phase in LCA of bio-based products. All the end-of-life treatments here addressed are shown in Figure 1.

    NOTE The order of the end-of-life options indicated in Figure 1 respect the Directive 2008/98/EC on waste. This list is not exhaustive, but illustrates the content of this Technical Report.
