Intensity of use, its relevance in environmental product assessment. A case study on televisions

The environmental impact of consumer electronic products mainly focuses on material and energy reduction, rather than on optimizing the lifetime. A number of strategies have been developed to optimize the life of products. However, it is not possible to make a prioritization of the best strategy for a specific situation. In this paper we describe how an analysis of the user behavior provides direction for the strategy selection. With this approach an environmental benefit can be combined with business and consumer benefits.
