Figure 11
The diagram depicts the stages of production that different types of life cycle assessments focus on. It is divided into two main cycles: cradle-to-cradle and cradle-to-grave. The cradle-to-cradle cycle is represented by a blue circular arrow, indicating a continuous loop. The cradle-to-grave cycle is represented by a gray arrow that starts from the outer circle and ends at the inner circle. The diagram is divided into four quadrants, each representing a different stage of the production process. The top left quadrant is labeled 'End-of-life' and features icons of recycling symbols. The bottom left quadrant is labeled 'Use phase' and shows an icon of a flame. The top right quadrant is labeled 'Resources' and displays an icon of molecular structures. The bottom right quadrant is labeled 'Manufacturing' and shows an icon of a robotic arm.Production stages that different types of LCAs focus on Link to the website
