Cradle to gate
Assesses products environment impact only up to the factory gate (before being distributed to consumer)
Cradle to cradle
circular economy, closed-loop recycling, eliminates waste
Gato to gate
evaluates environment impact of one specific stage, optimizes specific steps.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) key stages:
- Materials processing
- Production
- Use/maintenance
- Recycling
LCA 4 Phases
- Goal and scope
- Life Cycle Inventory (data collection)
- Life Cycle Impact Assessment
- Life Cycle Interpretation (Draw conclusions)
Metrics for creativity
- Fluency
- Originality
- Flexibility
- Quality
Entrepreneurship vs Intrapreneurship
Entrepreneurship: More freedom (own business)
Intrapreneurship: Less risk (innovate within a company)
