About: Avoided burden

An Entity of Type: programming language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Avoided burden is an approach used in life-cycle assessment (LCA), especially in the context of allocating environmental burden in the presence of recycling or reuse. When determining the overall environmental impact of a product, the product is given "credit" for the potential recycled material included. For instance, PET bottles may be given environmental credit for the PET they contain, as this material will eventually be recycled back into further PET products. This credit is termed "avoided burden" because it refers to the impact of virgin material production that is avoided by the use of recycled material.
