Zusammenfassung:Aggregation of life cycle impact assessment data and generation of life cycle impact assessment and scoring for goods and/or services or for components of goods and/or services are provided. Life cycle inventory data for components of goods and/or services are validated and audited to determine their available use in the generation of life cycle impact assessments for the goods and/or services. Life cycle impact assessments (LCIA) and LCIA scores are generated for each component or phase of production, use or disposal of a given good and/or service. LCIAs and LCIA scores for each component or phase are aggregated together and composite LCIAs and LCIA scores are generated for the good and/or service. The generated LCIAs and LCIA scores may be exposed to consumers, and the LCIAs and LCIA scores may be updated periodically as required to account for changes in LCI data for the scored good and/or service.
