16 1. Introduction. Life cycle thinking

Emerging approaches combining LCT, triple bottom line, and sustainable development
goals prove that some difficulties remain to solve. Focusing on LCSA, its application requires
proper and quantitative data and methods for LCSA indicators, including dealing with value
choices and subjectivity and the guidelines for external communication (Guin ee, 2016).
