The rapid and ongoing evolution of LCA led us to make an update. 2000 book that was “revised, corrected and expanded” on the basis of further experiences and regulatory updates that have become available. In the meantime, the manuscript took another role: that of a real manual. Indeed, it represents also a review of over ten years of activity in this sector revealing how, starting from a research-only approach, LCA has evolved and adapted also for a wider use: from support to environmental communication and green marketing, up to being integrated with eco-design evaluation.

LCA, LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT. Uno strumento di analisi energetica e ambientale
Badino V., Baldo G.L.
Ipaservizi Editore, 2000
Published in early 2000, this book was possible also thanks to the activities made by the national agency for environmental protection (ANPA, now ISPRA). Indeed, between 1999 and 2003, ANPA together with some big companies and certification bodies, started to put effort in the development of the EPD Systems and experienced a period of interest from relevant stakeholders. This book focus in particular on LCA applied to the environmental and energy analysis in companies and gives insights on how businesses could embed LCA in their environmental and energy strategy.
