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:…
Welcome to an enlightening session at the Swedish Life Cycle Center, where Associate Professor Bernhard Steubing and Dr. Romain Sacchi will discuss prospective Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This presentation aims to give an overview…
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…
This project aims to deepen our understanding of the competence needs in relation to life cycle thinking, particularly focusing on forthcoming legal requirements, within both industry and national authorities.
This project aims to generate knowledge and common insights on unclear and inconsistent points in LCA-related documents in ISO and GHGP.
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 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.
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.
The aim of the project is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and robust energy system by promoting the application of life cycle thinking.
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…
