The assessment cover the whole life cycle from cradle to grave hence theproduct performance can be analyzed or compared with others for product development or for making adecision. The University of Melbourne currently installed towel dispenser by means of hand drying method inthe entire campus. As some has suggested that electric dryer will provide more sustainable service than papertowel, a LCA study will be a good approach for comparing both methods. The study utilizes SimaPro softwareto generated database for impact assessment.
