Illustration of MET Matrix with text

A MET (Materials, Energy, and Toxicity) Matrix is an

life cycle of the product through its production, use, and disposal phase. The text in each cell corresponds to the intersection of two particular aspects. For example, this means that by looking at certain cells, one can examine aspects such as energy use during the production phase, or levels of toxicity that may be a concern during the disposal phase.[1]
