Abstract
environmental impacts and find improvement potentials of their lifts. One
important result was that the main environmental impacts don't result from
the material production, processing and logistics but during the use phase
and depending on the type of disposal. These results as well as eco design
tools were used to improve the lift system and a recent LCA showed that the
environmental impacts per functional unit could be halved compared to the
old lift. LCA is still used for environmental decisions. This year, for example,
the use of neodymium for motors was analysed with a LCA. Furthermore
the LCA information is used for costumer information given as EPD
type III declaration.
