Abstract
The environmental impact of telecommunications hardware is becoming increasingly important as legislation, customers and employees show heightened concern for the environment. An essential tool in quantifying the environmental impact of a product or process is the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The application of a computerised LCA tool to face plates used in telecommunications equipment to provide mechanical support, interconnection and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding is described
