LCAs have been on the rise for the past years and upcoming regulations will drastically increase the demand for such studies. We propose a brief review of the current context which will help us understand why new LCA tools are needed and how they can help to democratize LCA whether it be for industrial players or academics. After this short presentation, participants will take part in a collaborative Ecodesign workshop using Holis Studio. This workshop will be an opportunity to discover a new LCA & ecodesign tool as well as to discuss current barriers to scaling ecodesign with the LCA community.

The Life Cycle Initiative started GLAM in 2013, in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and Denmark’s Technical University (DTU), to enhance global consensus on environmental life cycle impact assessment indicators. The project aims to generate tangible and practical recommendations for different environmental indicators and characterization factors used in Life Cycle Impact Assessments (LCIA). This session will launch the final version of GLAM including a presentation of the method, GLAM method and its updated characterization factors, followed by an interactive discussion.
Target Group
LCIA method developers, providers of life cycle thinking studies (primarily consultants and industry professionals, and users of life cycle information, including governmental and intergovernmental organizations, government, industry, NGOs, and academics.

Life cycle thinking has increasingly found its way into legislation and other initiatives over the past decade. The market - consumers and businesses – shall act as a driver for more sustainable products by demanding LCA-based environmental performance results. The ability for the consumer - or even a professional procurement departments - to indeed make this choice may depend on whether it is possible to identify the best choice based on objective criteria. The credibility associated with product-related claims is a central element in the success of this ambition. In this event, the Nordic Environmental Footprint Group discusses the consequences of calculating and presenting value-chain LCA-based ESG data when the methodological frameworks regarding the value-chain approach, the types of environmental impacts, data quality and other methodological issues are not harmonized. The presentation will investigate the effect of methodological freedom. Alignment and criteria guiding the solidity of claims will be discussed as a means to support the intention with the inclusion of LCA in legislation and other market-oriented initiatives The presentation and discussion are based on the paper: “Closing the gap. The critical role of LCA methodology in decision making. A case of harmonization between PEF and EPD”. The paper can be downloaded from www.nordic-pef.org before the SETAC conference

Target Group
Decision makers, researchers, procurers and programme operaters. The event is shedding light on systemic challenges using LCA results in decision making processes and will present and discuss approaches.
