C5.3.2 Inventory Analysis Phase
The Inventory Analysis Phase requires data collection and verification. This phase is an inventory of the inputs and outputs to the processes being considered.
Example Inputs:
- Raw Materials
- Energy
- Chemicals
Example Outputs:
- Air Emissions
- Water discharges
- Waste
This process is often conducted using dedicated software packages.
It is important that the data is suitable for comparison and therefore it should be normalised. For example, x kg of solvent emissions to air, per unit of product.
