Abstract: Abstract Lice cycle thinking is an operational framework able to prevent burden shifting among stakeholders in the market as well as in the value chain. Life cycle thinking is useful to ponder the consequences in environmental, social, and economic effects of a product throughout all its life. It denotes a set of tools able to improve and evaluate circular economy strategies.
