full cradle cycle life evaluation
Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.
The gap
Environmental footprint calculations integrated two different databases (SEL for primary data, SHARP-ID for supplementary values) with inconsistent system boundaries: SEL estimates impacts only to the distribution center while SHARP-ID includes the full cradle-to-plate cycle. This methodological discrepancy introduces uncertainties that could be resolved by establishing unified Türkiye-specific carbon footprint and water footprint coefficients across the full supply chain.

A more comprehensive sustainability evaluation would require the inclusion of full life-cycle stages (cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-cradle) in future studies, beyond the current A1-A3 stages.
