We can't define the while lifecycle. As mentioned in previous posts, identifying all the factors (impacts, effects) in making a product isn't feasible. Think of all the correlated and/or interdependent factors in Trek's example report. Expecting the consumer to offset all the lifecycle costs is even more infeasible. How each consumer uses the product is up to them. So, in your defense, do we assume an upper bound, worst case of all the known factors? Seems unrealistic...but then again, so is Trek's report. Their report is interesting and groundbreaking, but it's not motivating.
