摘要
In 1998, the Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) launched a five-year national project entitled 'Development of Life Cycle Impact Assessment for Products' (commonly known as 'the LCA Project'). The purpose of the project is to develop common LCA methodology as well as a highly reliable database that can be shared in Japan. Activities over these five years have resulted in the supply of LCI data on some 250 products. Industrial associations voluntarily provided data. The results of these activities are currently being made available on the Internet on a trial basis in the form of an LCA database. In addition, a method entitled 'Life-cycle Impact assessment Method based on Endpoint modeling (LIME)' was developed. It is expected that these results will be widely used in Japan in the future. This paper presents an outline of the results of the research and development that has been conducted in the LCA Project in Japan.
