Midpoint models provide a greater level of certainty because they focus on specific impact categories, such as carbon footprint, and water footprint, before they are aggregated. In contrast, endpoint models consolidate information into a single score, making them more understandable to decision-makers by summarizing the overall damage to human health, ecosystems, and resources. Methods like TRACI, ReCiPe, and the environmental footprint can serve as either midpoint or endpoint methodologies based on their application. For example, when TRACI, ReCiPe, or environmental footprint are used to assess specific impact categories, they function as midpoint indicators. Conversely, when they are applied to evaluate comprehensive environmental damage, they align with endpoint methodologies. Integrating LCA and TEA with tools like TRACI, ReCiPe, and environmental footprint ensures a detailed analysis of environmental impacts. This integration provides a robust framework for assessing sustainability by balancing detailed environmental data with broader impact evaluations.
