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.

This is the project report from the project Modeling of recycling. The project aimed at analyzing and debating how recycling should be modeled in life cycle assessment (LCA) and similar environmental assessments, as well as contributing to international harmonization processes such as the international LCA standard and the EU guidelines for Product Environmental Footprint.

Webinar: Variations in frameworks for LCA: Implications on environmental performance of biofuels
Recording Fuel producers are increasingly affected by conflicting rules for life cycle assessment (LCA) as different frameworks all have different requirements and modelling approaches. This can affect the LCA results and sometimes the conclusions,…
Introduction Many different approaches are used in the LCA community. Attempts to harmonize LCA has resulted in a multitude of conflicting guidelines and standards. Confusion is created because the guidelines and standards are…

Network Conference: The role of life cycle thinking in a circular economy
We welcome partners and invited guests to participate in the upcoming network conference arranged by Swedish Life Cycle Center and the project Swedish platform for the life cycle perspective (funded by Swedish Energy Agency) on Wednesday February 7, 2018 in Gothenburg.
There is no holistic way to handle the issue of biodiversity loss and land use when making an LCA. The aim of the working group is to share experience and best practive on how to deal with biodiversity and land use and how to contribute to existing international and national initiatives.
