Webinar: Environmental and Economic implications of circularity
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…
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.

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.
