Course: Assessing the Environmental Performance of Business Models
This one-day course helps industry teams and researchers grasp the logic of Business Model LCA (BM-LCA) and how it evaluates environmental performance at the business model level (sell, lease, repair, remanufacture) rather than only the…
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…

The pursuit for win-wins has a long history. From an understanding of the relationship between environmental performance and economic activity, the need for environmentally sustainable business models has emerged. The purpose of this project is to grow the knowledge, capacity, and application of Business Model Life Cycle Assessment (BMLCA).

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.

Webinar: Applying life cycle thinking when assessing climate impact of the Swedish transport system
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…
Summary The European Commission developed a framework for life cycle assessment (LCA) denoted Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) in collaboration with representatives from the EU Member States, industry, and researchers.
