Dissecting a consumer product into all the various
processes that contribute to its production and disposal
can help us better understand how our consumer habits
affect the environment. Consumption of products
drives an array of extraction, manufacturing, processing,
transportation and disposal operations. An analysis
of these operations, called life-cycle or cradle-to-grave
analysis, documents the inputs (water, energy, raw
materials) and outputs (products and wastes), for these
various steps.
