  • Collect/store pages of printed/digital text   
  • Energy use per page of printed/digital text 
  • GHG emissions per page of printed/digital text
  • 1 page of printed/digital text

Question 2

  •  Give up, an LCA is not possible
  •  Adjust the system boundary to only consider the waste management phase

 

Question 3
Consider an LCA that seeks to compare the green house gas emissions between an e-reader (tablet) and printed book. What would be an appropriate functional unit?

  • 1 page of printed or digital text
  • GHG emissions per page of printed/digital text
  • Energy use per page of printed/digital text
  • Collect/store pages of printed/digital text

 
Question 4
