This paper reports on a literature-based survey of the theory and practise of life-cycle assessment (LCA) in the car manufacturing industry. Three levels of investigation were conducted, ranging from a broad industry scan, to a focus on four exemplary practitioners of LCA: DaimlerChrysler, Volkswagen, Volvo and BMW who becomes the subject of a detailed scan. Only 4 of the 21 companies surveyed in the broad scan are practising LCA. A greater proportion of car manufacturers must practise LCA if the industry hopes to achieve the UNEP challenge of enhancing car life-cycle ecoefficieny. 2014-12-30T19:44:36Z 2014-12-30T19:44:36Z 2003 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10606 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
