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 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…
Life Cycle Talks is a series of talks presenting the research front to keep you up to date with the science and application of the life cycle perspective.
A meeting will be arranged within Swedish Life Cycle Center together with Tomas Ekvall at Chalmers to discuss and develop project ideas originated from the successful and appreciated project Modeling of Recycling with interested researchers,…
The project aims to increase the Swedish collaboration within the life cycle-field and contribute to knowledge exchange, competence building and increased understanding of the life cycle perspective.
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.
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…
