General comment Abiotic Depletion Potential (ADP) is a method used in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to analyze the impact of an object on the world around it. It is the most widely accepted LCIA method. However, it has limitations such as neglecting resources that can be recycled. Depletion of abiotic resources is a disputed impact category in LCA due to different problem definitions and choices regarding parameters and data. The LCA results identified abiotic depletion potential for fossil fuels (ADPF) as key impact indicators. |
