Sažetak
Traditionally, life cycle analysis (LCA) approaches are key tools used to assess impacts through product life cycles, but they present limitations regarding the accounting of multiple ecosystem service-related issues, at both the land-use and supply chain levels. The LCA proved a powerful method to diagnose and manage environmental impacts in complex product systems. LCA shall be alternative for wood residues and waste management strategies in wood industry. Wood biomass, residues form wood processing as well as products at the end-of life are low carbon energy sources and this shall be stand point in future wood management policies. Criteria in green procurement shall be based on renewable energy and reuse of materials, environmental selection criteria for materials, eco-design, environmental capabilities of producers, waste and water management etc. In wood industry shall be implemented integrative and innovative approach that will enable best environmental performance. As wood is very positive in term of sustainability, and circular economy principles are our future, this shall gave wood industry advantage in banding and gaining a competitive advantage over other industries. Life cycle thinking shall be integrated in management strategies and shall become a standard management and controlling tool.
