Proper LCAs can help a designer compare several different products according to several categories, such as energy use, toxicity, acidification, CO 2 emissions, ozone depletion, resource depletion and many others. By comparing different ...

All steps along the manufacturing process, and more, must be taken into account in the design of the package for any given product.

The research, published in JAMA Pediatrics on Monday, is a review of 74 other studies exploring how the mineral may affect children’s IQ levels. The analysis found a statistically significant ...
