The aim of the group is to increase the collaboration between government agencies regarding the life cycle perspective and partners in Swedish Life Cycle Center by sharing experiences and knowledge building.
A common platform for knowledge building and collaboration is crucial to spread and develop the life cycle thinking globally. This project aims for a joint national collaboration to engage organizations to apply a life cycle perspective.
The project provides a meeting place where industry, academia, authorities and other parts of society come together to create opportunities for an increased understanding and use of the life cycle perspective. The project aims to…
This project is a continuation of the project modelling of recycling that aimed to analyzing and debating how recycling should be modeled in life cycle assessment (LCA) and similar environmental assessments and…
Background The project was initiated due absence of involvement by lyfe cycle analysts in production development. In order to steer development in production towards enhancements that is beneficial economically and has little impact on the…
Since 2016, the center has a close collaboration with seven Swedish government agencies. They meet on a regular basis to share experience and build common knowledge in the life cycle field. These authorities play important roles…

Conference reflections and report from 9th International Conference on Life Cycle Management (LCM 2019) The 9th International Conference on Life Cycle Management (LCM 2019) took place between 1rd– 4thSeptember 2019 in city of Poznan, Poland.
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.
The life cycle perspective is crucial for companies and other organizations in order to reduce their environmental impact and to reach climate- and energy efficiency goals. With focus on successful life cycle activities that are already in place in Swedish organizations, this project aimed to spread the good examples.

Seminariet anordnas av Energimyndigheten som en del av den svenska verksamheten inom IEA, IETS (Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems) i samverkan med Swedish Life Cycle Center och Svensk plattform för livscykelperspektivet. Seminariet kommer att handla om ekonomisk och klimatmässig utvärdering av nya industriella koncept (till exempel bioraffinaderier, CCS, membrankoncept, elektrifiering) med stor investering och framtida introduktion.
Aim & objectives The aim is to identify the knowledge gaps and challenges that exist in reaching and increasing the recycling rate of plastic. Furthermore, the project aims to develop best practices for how sharing…
