The pursuit for win-wins has a long history. From an understanding of the relationship between environmental performance and economic activity, the need for environmentally sustainable business models has emerged. The purpose of this project is to grow the knowledge, capacity, and application of Business Model Life Cycle Assessment (BMLCA).

The method for modeling material recycling can have a decisive impact on the environmental assessment of products with a high content of recycled material or material that is recycled after use. How recycling should be modeled in LCA has been discussed since the 90's but no consensus has yet been reached. The project is expected to result in increased competence and in consensus on certain aspects of the modeling of recycling in LCA.

Anders Nordelöf, PhD candidate at Environmental Systems Analysis, Chalmers recently defended his thesis “Using life cycle assessment to support the development of electrified road vehicles”. Anders is also active in the Swedish Life Cycle Center’s network as a member in the working group LCA and vehicles. Following the debate about electric road vehicles in Sweden this is a very actual topic. We asked Anders 3 quick questions about his thesis.
