Chapter 3 - Life cycle inventory analysis - Illustration of the inventory phase (part B)

As in this Chapter 3, specially for subchapter, we will learn about the transparent description of allocation rules as it is very important for the credibility and understanding of this LCA study. In this video, the process level for the allocation rules will be learned including the multi-output processes for the beverage carton and PET bottle. Next, we will also look at the modelling of the system and the calculation of the life cycle inventory. Lastly, this video also will emphasize the application of inputs and outputs in the flow model of the technical system for LCI.
