  • Abstract
    MicroPro has used the Life Cycle Assessment approach to Eco-design from the development its first prototype in 1999. While understanding the principles involved, MicroPro has to date relied on the buying in of LCA expertise from private consultants and research agencies, more recently, based outside of Ireland.
