Abstract :
This paper describes an extensive system level study which is underway for Ericsson third generation telecommunication products and systems. The study builds on the results and experiences gained from earlier life cycle assessment (LCA) work, some of which is described below. The purpose of the present study is to determine the site-specific environmental impacts from cradle to grave of complete Ericsson mobile telephone systems in operation. Upon completion of the present study, Ericsson will be able to provide comprehensive and credible environmental information on its second generation systems, migrated, or mixed systems, and pure third generation systems
