This Technical Report provides examples about practices in carrying out a life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) as a means of satisfying certain provisions of ISO 14044:2006. These examples are only a sample of the possible cases satisfying the provisions of ISO 14044. They offer \u201ca way\u201d or \u201cways\u201d rather than the \u201cunique way\u201d for the application of ISO 14044. These examples reflect only portions of a complete LCI study.<\/p>\n
