livsløpstankegang
Livsløpstankegang, often translated as life-cycle thinking or life-cycle approach, is a philosophy and methodology that considers the entire lifespan of a product, service, or system. This encompasses all stages from the extraction of raw materials, through manufacturing, distribution, use, and finally, disposal or recycling.
