dc.description.abstract | Using a life cycle Assessment, impacts of a product can be described in technical terns by assessing and quantifying inputs and outputs during the various stages of a product’s life cycle. Techniques such as Environmental cost Accounting (ECA) and Social Auditing (SA) create opportunities to describe impacts of products in social and economic terms. By combining these tools we can finally derive at a comprehensive approach to decision making. This report tries to prescribe an analytical frame work that combines tools and techniques such as LCA, ECA and SA to yield a robust and comprehensive approach in the analysis of environmental impacts. In addition case study leather industries in Ethiopian context are discussed to illustrate how such an approach can be applied and its potential improvement for sustainability by reducing environmental stress and creating economic benefit in a social balanced way | en_US |
