Abstract
A survey of life cycle assessment practitioners and a review of related methodological advances and capacity building activities are used to understand LCA advancements for evolutionary and revolutionary electronic products. Issues and recommendations for database, tool development, and methodological issues specific to electronics products are highlighted and discussed. We conclude that electronics sector participation in current LCA initiatives can highlight issues in a way that fosters advancement.
