simultaneously reducing
negative environmental
impacts, resource
consumption, and costs.

Environmental Costs
Environmental costs are costs that are incurred

because poor environmental quality exists or may
exist.
Environmental costs
can be classified in
four categories:
prevention costs,
detection costs,
internal failure costs,
and external failure
costs.

Environmental Costing
Unit-Based Environmental Cost Assignments

Environmental costs are separated into a cost
pool
Costs are assigned to individual products using
unit-level drivers
Best for a homogeneous product setting

Life-Cycle Cost Assessment
Life cycle assessment

identifies the environmental
consequences of a product
through its entire life cycle and
then searches for
opportunities to obtain
environmental improvements.

Inventory analysis
specifies the types and
quantities of materials
and energy inputs
needed and the
resulting environmental
releases in the form of
solid, liquid, and
gaseous residues.

Impact analysis
assesses the
environmental effects of
competing designs and
provides a relative
ranking of those effects.

Cost assessment
determines the financial
consequences of the
environmental impacts
identified in the inventory
and improvement steps
of life-cycle assessment.

Improvement analysis has

the objective of reducing the
environmental impacts
revealed by the inventory
and impact steps.

Five core objectives for the environmental

perspectives:
1) Minimize hazardous materials
2) Minimize raw or virgin materials
3) Minimize energy requirements
4) Minimize the release of residues
5) Maximize opportunities to recycle
