This study introduces a new framework integrating quantitative life cycle assessment (LCA) and qualitative analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for comprehensive environmental issue evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Sustainability Studies
  • Decision Analysis

Background:

  • Environmental damage assessment traditionally relies on either qualitative or quantitative methods.
  • Existing approaches may introduce bias by favoring one assessment type over the other.
  • A need exists for integrated environmental assessment frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, comprehensive evaluative framework for environmental issues.
  • To integrate qualitative and quantitative assessment methods for a balanced perspective.
  • To demonstrate the framework's application using packaging materials as a case study.

Main Methods:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for quantitative environmental loading assessment.
  • Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for incorporating expert opinions.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Cluster analysis to synthesize results from LCA and AHP.

    • Main Results:

    • The integrated framework combines quantitative data with expert qualitative judgments.
    • Packaging materials were used to successfully demonstrate the framework's process.
    • The approach provides a more holistic and less biased environmental evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed framework offers a robust method for environmental issue assessment.
    • Integration of diverse methods mitigates biases inherent in single-approach assessments.
    • This comprehensive approach enhances understanding and decision-making for environmental management.
