Life Cycle Analysis can also be used to compare cradle to cradle systems, or to compare them to cradle to grave systems. Examples include many comparisons of refillable bottle systems to systems where beverage containers are recycled, to systems where beverage containers are disposed. These are standardized to determine how much energy and resources it takes to deliver a set amount (measured either in beverage containers or in gallons of beverage) of beverage to the public. Other common examples compare disposable diaper systems to reusable diapers. How much energy, water, and materials does it take to provide a year of diapering to a baby using each method?
