LCA North America 2012 Annual Report

LCA Mission Statement

The mission of the SETAC LCA Advisory Group is to advance the science, practice, and application of LCAs to reduce the resource consumption and environmental burdens associated with products, packaging, processes, or activities.

To achieve this mission, the SETAC LCA Advisory Group will:

1. Serve as a focal point to provide a broad-based forum for the identification, resolution, and communication of issues regarding LCAs; and
2. Facilitate, coordinate, and provide guidance for the development, implementation, and communication of LCA and its use.

Core tasks include planning and organizing LCA sessions and conferences (such as the Annual SETAC North America Meeting), coordination of topical working groups, and preparation of SETAC LCA publications.
