Workshop 07: Bringing supplier-specific product carbon footprints into LCA calculation engines at scale

Large industry initiatives (e.g. Catena-X, Together for Sustainability, or World Business Council for Sustainable Development) promote aligned calculation methodologies as well as data formats for standardized PCF exchange along the supply chain. The intention is...

Workshop 01: Life Cycle Assessment and LCA Automation in discrete manufacturing companies: Challenges and solutions

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a critical tool for evaluating the environmental impact of products and services throughout their life cycle. However, conducting LCA can be a complex and time-consuming process, particularly for diverse manufacturing...

Workshop 03: Navigating methodological inconsistencies in Scope 3 accounting & LCA

Objectives and Motivation: Companies often rely on spend-based calculations for Scope 3.1 purchased materials, but this approach is arguably a dead end for effective decarbonization. Furthermore, the estimated carbon emissions often deviate significantly from bottom-up...

Life Cycle Assessment of CARBIOS enzymatic biorecycling technology: powering PET plastic and textile circularity

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most used polyester plastics in a broad range of applications. However, like other plastics, it is prone to leakage into the environment and post-consumer PET waste is not...

Experiences Applying the (Product) Environmental Footprint (PEF) Method and connection to Existing and Upcoming European Legislation and Policy

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has a track record of being a well-established methodology for holistic product environmental performance measurement. To deploy a common way of doing LCA in the EU, The European Commission adopted the...

Focus on the 4th step of Safe and sustainable by design tool: Life Cycle Assessment of BIO-SUSHY Horizon Europe project

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used to provide water and oil impermeability in various applications as non-stick pan surfaces, water- and dirt-repellent textile treatments, food-contact dirt-repellent coating on paper or cardboard packaging or...

Life Cycle Assessment of Albumin for Diagnostic Assays

Due to its properties to bind a wide variety of organic and inorganic ligands, the albumin protein from bovine plasma is an important ingredient in many Roche diagnostic assays, acting as a stabilising agent or...

An LCA-based Spatial Matching Scheme Aids the De-carbonization from Plastic Waste Recycling in Japan

Increasing global ocean plastic waste (PW) has become a major concern in recent years. This study provided an LCA-based spatial matching scheme to support the low-carbon style recycling system, demonstrated using polyethylene (PE) waste generated...

LCA of garment making and influence of the product quality

The production phase has been identified as a major source of burdens in the garment life cycle (European Commission et al., 2014). The garment making stage is the last one in the production phase and...

Greening Printed Electronics: Sustain-a-Print’s Ecodesign Optimization

The EU’s electronics sector is one of the fastest-growing in waste streams production (2% annual rate). Surprisingly, less than 40% of electronic waste generated is currently recycled. To address the challenges of the increased resource...
