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…
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.
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,…
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.
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…
