演讲题目：To Visualize Eco-Friendliness of A Products – The Present State of Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Footprint in Japan

摘要：To reduce environmental loads of products or services for an environment-friendly society, it is necessary to know them quantitatively. At present, life cycle assessment (abb. to LCA) is the only tool to assess the environmental loads quantitatively. To reduce greenhouse gases emitted from a product for its life cycle, carbon footprint (abb. to CFP) is the only tool to assess the total emissions of greenhouse gases quantitatively. CFP is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted from a product throughout its life and expressed in functional equivalent amounts of carbon dioxide. Therefore, CFP can be obtained by inventory analysis of LCA and the global warming potential among many potentials used in LCA.

The activities of CFP have become known in Japan from the year of 2009 thanks to subsidized three years CFP pilot project by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In this paper, the concept and procedure of LCA and the present state of products category rule (abb. to PCR) and the CFP system in Japan were introduced, though PCR for wood materials was just applied to the carbon footprint office.

A few case studies of LCA and CFP about wood materials were also introduced for particleboard, hardboard and insulation fiberboard.
