Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to select the most appropriate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) eco-design software currently available. The multi-criteria decision method AHP is applied to establish the comparison between six LCA´s softwares (Simapro 7, TEAM 4.0, GaBi 4, Umberto 5.1, KCL-ECO 4.0, EcoLab 6.2.0e) considering 20 different criteria.
