The research on the development of an innovative formula of a synthetic detergent with improved environmental properties, which meet the environmental standard of SOU OEM 08.002.12.065:2016 "Detergents and cleaning products. Environmental criteria for life cycle assessment" is carried out. The accumulated theoretical and practical experience is generalized, the general scheme of designing and development of new goods taking into account features of detergents with the improved ecological characteristics is created.

This paper introduces the need for the responsible selection of construction products and then analyses a number of assessment methodologies. Some computer packages and guidebooks that assist in life cycle assessment or aid construction product selection are briefly reviewed. Issues that affect decision-making and complexities in the construction industry are discussed. A tool for assisting responsible construction product selection is then presented that involves carrying out a streamlined life cycle assessment, comparing a novel product to a traditional product. The tool is pragmatic because only three environmental criteria are considered (resource consumption, energy use and human and ecological impacts) and a relative rather then absolute assessment is required. The decision-assisting methodology is demonstrated with a case study. The limitations and benefits of the streamlined LCA are finally presented.
