It is generally considered, as the material basis of human survival and production, materials industry is one of the main reasons causing energy shortages, excessive consumption of resources and environmental pollution, the issues on ecomaterials life cycle assessment are also increasingly subject to attention. In this paper, Fuzzy decision trees is applied due to they are powerful, top-down, hierarchical search methodology to extract human interpretable classification rules. And Fuzzy ID3 algorithm is used, a popular and particularly efficient method, to construct fuzzy decision tree. We use weighted fuzzy production rules generated from FDT to establish assessment model. In addition, a new method is proposed, based on fuzzy rules and degree of confidence, to set the band of assessment. Classification accuracy was used to examine results of the system. The results indicated that the system is very valid for eco-materials life cycle assessment.
