Sustainable consumption and production has one core in styles and volumes ofconsumption and one core in the technologies for production and consumption. Twoapproaches to sustainability analysis of technologies would ultimately unite, eitherascending from simple to complex modelling and evaluation or, conversely, descending
from strategic value analysis and scenario studies to the analysis of specifictechnologies therein.
Neither the ascending method nor the descending method as sketched below havebeen worked out in any detail, let alone in a mutually integrated manner. Relevant
knowledge resides in several scientific domains. Developing this overall structure andfilling in relevant knowledge is a prerequisite for accepted practical evaluations, as inusing eco-efficiency analysis.
