Known as hybrid LCA, integrated use of economic input-output (IO) analysis and process-based LCA (PLCA) has become a major tool of LCA inventory analysis. Proceeding from the basics of IO, this chapter discusses the issues of monetary versus physical data, multiregional extension, end-of-life phase with waste management and recycling, cost and price (with implications for life cycle costing), technology choices, and substitution. Besides the strengths of hybrid LCA, several often-cited "weaknesses" are also addressed.
