Information Paper 7/12 LCA and REACH: The relationship between life-cycle assessment and the regulation on the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals
Publication Year
2012
Document Status

Abstract
Provides information to product manufacturers and product specifiers on the relationship between LCA and REACH, using the BRE Environmental Profiles Methodology as an example of LCA. Both approaches are intended to evaluate the impacts of chemicals on people and the environment, but they perform different roles. They are not interchangeable, but should be viewed as complementary.
