Abstract: Abstract This paper highlights specific challenges of applying LCA within an integrated resource efficiency analysis in the chemical industry and gives particular attention to allocation procedures. In a company case different allocation rules were applied. The results pointing in opposite directions clearly show that on the basis of product-related assessment any reliable derivation of resource efficiency potentials is possible. One approach to avoid these problems, are scenarios comparisons on overall system level. If material flow models mapping (non-linear) procedural dependencies realistic, different scenarios can be calculated and compared in economic and ecological revenue and effort changes without allocation and linearization become necessary.
