Abstract: | This paper presents a methodology on how eco-efficiency (hereafter as: e-eff.) in extended supply chains (ESCs) can be understood and measured. The ESC includes all processes in the life cycle of a product. Based on a case study of furniture production in Norway, 9 different environmental performance (here as: perf.) indicators are identified. Value perf. is measured as inverse life cycle costs. The e-eff. for 6 different chair models is calculated. Hence, information about the relative performance of the products is provided, which is valuable in green procurement processes. |
