Spatial differentiation of LCI datasets - Etienne LEES-PERASSO - 2013

The electric and electronic equipement (EEE) sector is a globalized market. Industries are spread worldwide, same products can be manufactured in various countries leading to different environmental impacts. Moreover, some newly developed characterisation methods, as mentionned in ILCD handbook [1] and used in the PEF initiative [2], include a spatial differentiation. Therefore, it is important to keep environmental data concerning EEE products up to date in order to reduce the LCIA results uncertainties.
