Transport systems have several unique properties that make them different from many products and services that are analysed with LCA. How can a life cycle perspective be applied in that context? In this webinar, the…
Content Closing the loop via reuse, refurbishment, and remanufacturing provides promising avenues to lower environmental impact while remaining profitable. But are all products suitable for a (so-called) circular economy and under what circumstance? This webinar…
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,…
Welcome to join the webinar EU Environmental Footprint – industrial experiences & updates on the policy process arranged by the Swedish Life Cycle Center within the project Environmental Footprint in Sweden, funded by Vinnova. The…

Swedish Life Cycle Center bjuder in myndigheter att delta på ett webinarie om Environmental Footprint-processen, EPD och globalt nätverk för LCA-databaser. Webinariet arrangeras inom ramen för de myndighetsdialoger som har startats upp mellan Swedish Life…
Content The webinar starts with a presentation of the monetizing project, IMP (Integration of environment and economy in product development gives opportunity for innovations) and the steps that are planned for the step 2 application.
The automotive industry faces several transitions e.g. electrification and servicification, and to meet sustainability challenges. Within the project SE:Kond2Life these questions has been investigated with focus on re-manufacturing and circularity. On May 3, 09:15-10:30 (CET)…
– How are Swedish companies affected by the EU’s development of the environmental footprints? The project Environmental Footprint in Sweden aims to involve and engage business, authorities and the…
Welcome to join the webinar: Water footprint – Standards, methodologies and application, with Felipe Oliveira, Environmental Engineer at IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute. WHAT: A webinar about Water footprint – Standards, methodologies and application with…
Background Information and market pressure in combination with political instruments will in the long run lead to reduced environmental impact and resource use from production and consumption of goods and services, both nationally and globally.
WHAT: A webinar about how life cycle perspective is introduced in education at undergraduate studies at KTH with Anna Hedlund-Åström, Associate Professor at Department of Machine Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology WHEN:…
WHAT: A webinar about methodological choices in the life cycle assessment of bioenergy systems with Miguel Brandão, KTH Royal Institute of Technology WHEN: April 4, 2016 at 2:00-3:00 PM HOW & WHERE: Web-meting…
The aim of this meeting is to reach a common understanding of the multitude of LCA-related international and European standards. Discuss what is important to include and what to exclude in the standards. This meeting…
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…
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…
Fuel producers are increasingly affected by conflicting rules for life cycle assessment (LCA). The EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED), the EU framework for Product Environmental Footprints (PEF), and the frameworks of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)…
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…
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,…
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…
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.
