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.
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.
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.
The Nordic working group for LCA, climate and buildings is developed in collaboration with the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) and Ministry of the Environment in Finland to address the results…
LCM 2013 (the 6th International Conference on Life Cycle Management) was hosted by CPM – the Swedish Life Cycle Center. It was arranged in Gothenburg 2013, 25-28 August.
Background The overall aim of the project is to provide companies and other actors with valuation factors for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as well as for energy and other natural resources, that can…
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.
The year of 2019 has almost come to an end and we are happy to say that is has been a year filled with new collaborations and inspiring network activites. The Swedish Life Cycle Centers…
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…
Accepted abstract/Conference presentation in the 8th International Conference on Life Cycle Management (LCM), September 2017, Luxembourg City.
Monetary valuation of environmental impacts is increasingly used as a basis for decisions in environmental and sustainability issues. This project aims to develop a methodology to communicate environmental damage cost data.
There is a need of working with/handle social aspects in a (harmonized) structured way throughout the entire life cycle in complement to environmental-LCA. The group focus on how social-Life Cycle Assessment can be applied within our partner organizations.

LCA data is used by organizations to measure, follow up and reduce environmental and social impact. For the Swedish life Cycle Center it is important to contribute to making LCA data more accessible and transparent globally and therefor this expert group has been established.
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…
Swedish Life Cycle Center provides LCA data in the CPM LCA Database. It all started as a project engaging partners in CPM (former Swedish Life Cycle Center).
In this project, the possibility of standardizing a simplified structure of concepts for system analysis through discrete choice of system boundaries will be investigated. The purpose is to reduce the complexity of system analysis sustainability…

Environmentally sound energy production and use are central components in a sustainable society. Much could be gained by coordinating data management in order to provide open LCA-data that can be used by authorities, companies, and researchers to consistently and efficiently analyze environmental performance.
Life cycle information is used differently thru out the organization, this project investigate how information can contribute for better environmental performance when addressed correctly. The aim of the project is to facilitate for the various functions of a company to contribute to increased energy efficiency in a life cycle perspective.
The project intended to strengthen the long-term competitiveness of the manufacturing industry through a pro-active risk management. It considers both environmental aspects as well as economic value, early in the product development phase.
Methods for environmental footprinting of products and services have been and are being developed all over the world. Two methods to measure environmental performance throughout the lifecycle, the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and the Organisation…
Background 2009 the first handbook on social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) was published by the UN environmental program (UNEP). From its origin as an environmental tool, life cycle assessment is now being developed in towards…
