The growing concern of European citizens with environmental quality and the European Commission's determination to develop stronger environmental policies has contributed to the development and optimization of environmental management tools to support decision-makers in industry and government. These tools help to pro-actively identify sustainable options, optimized according to environmental, social, and economic criteria.
In line with recent European Commission initiatives, an Integrated Product Policy (IPP) approach is to be considered in any economic sector. IPP addresses the whole life cycle of a product, and seeks to avoid shifting environmental problems from one phase of the product life cycle to another.
