Books from an environmental perspective (2008-2010)
Project description
The aim of this project is to make an environmental assessment of books, exemplified by a type book. The product is studied as a printed version and as an electronic copy. The latter is read from an e‑paper device. Environmental impacts are investigated using screening life cycle assessment (LCA). In addition, buying books via the Internet are studied and compared to buying books in traditional bookstores.
