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.
