	Materials choice is a critical element of LCA. For example, the ISO 14000 version of LCA in its strongest form would forbid making a key from [[aluminum]] because each use of it generates aluminum oxide which is toxic. Making it from brass or steel instead has no such effects.		Materials choice is a critical element of LCA.

			The problem in relying on ISO standards to make Lifecycle assesments is that these ISO standards for '''quality of a process''' are issued by certifiers who charge a lot of money for issuing the certificate, thus making aquiring one prohibitively expensive for small companies.
