Abstract
The aim of this article is to show how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used at PSA Peugeot-Citroën. The encountered difficulties and its limitations are emphasized regarding a practical example: end-of-life scenarios of a polypropylene bumper skin. The step evaluating the environmental impacts from the inventory results is particularly developped.
