Çolak, A.; Laratte, B.; Elevli, B.; Çoruh, S. Abiotic Depletion of Boron: An Update Characterization Factors for CML 2002 and ReCiPe. Minerals 2022, 12, 435. DOI : https://doi.org/10.3390/min12040435 The risk of resource depletion for future generations of humanity is often cited as an important issue. The choice of impact categories and characterization models for resource extraction in LCA is no more precise than other impact categories and models. This means that more discussion is needed on the use of resources. In this article, the potential depletion of Boron and Boron minerals (Colemanite, Ulexite, Tincal) are studied. These minerals have a big role for the world and for Turkey; however, this resource is limited. Using the life cycle assessment methodology, one can
