  • Abstract
    A life cycle analysis (LCA) case study evaluates the environmental load of CD-ROM drives. We performed a life cycle inventory using data for mechanical parts compiled from company records and data for electronic parts compiled from governmental and industrial records. We evaluated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and found that their suppression depends heavily on the design parts and circuits
