Question 1 of 30
Following the initial data collection and compilation for the life cycle inventory of a novel bioplastic derived from agricultural waste, a preliminary assessment indicates a surprisingly high potential for eutrophication in the agricultural cultivation phase of the feedstock. This finding deviates significantly from initial projections. What is the most appropriate next step for the LCA practitioner to take according to the principles outlined in ISO 14040:2006?
Conduct sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to understand the drivers of the high eutrophication potential and the robustness of this finding.
Immediately re-evaluate the entire goal and scope definition to ensure no fundamental misinterpretations occurred during the initial phase.
Focus solely on the impact assessment phase, assuming the LCI data accurately reflects the system and the high eutrophication is an inherent characteristic.
Initiate a new data collection effort for the bioplastic's end-of-life phase, as this is often a significant contributor to environmental impacts.
