Automobile painting is a very energy and emission (solvents) intensive process step in the production of automobiles with regard to the small amount paint applied to the car body. The awareness has risen that cleaner production technologies must substitute end-of-pipe control technologies. If these technologies strive to be a competitive option in corporate decision-making process, not only their environmental but also their technical and economical performance has to be at the same or higher level compared to conventional technologies. The approach of LCE (Life-Cycle Engineering) by IKP (Institut for Polymer Testing and Polymer Science) and PE (Product Engineering) investigates technical, environmental and economical aspects of products and technolgies. It is broadened to be a simulation tool to analyse weak points and optimisation potentials as well as to support product and technology development in the painting industry. LCS (Life-Cycle Simulation) changes the 'snap-shot' character of LCI (Life-Cycle Inventories) to a flexible tool which enables predictions about product and technology developments.
