Demystifying LCAs: Methodology to Practice

This webinar will help you better understand the fundamentals and practical applications of life cycle assessments (LCAs), a rigorous methodology for evaluating the environmental impacts of products across their entire lifecycle. Whether you're new to LCAs or looking to deepen your expertise, this session will provide actionable insights to support your sustainability goals, ESG and product reporting, voluntary net zero commitments, and regulatory compliance.

The information we will discuss during the webinar is essential for manufacturers, sustainability professionals and product developers seeking to reduce environmental footprints, improve supply chain transparency and make data-driven decisions.

The webinar will cover the following:

• The foundations of LCAs, key stages, data types, ISO standards (ISO 14040/14044) and frameworks
• How LCAs are applied in practice to identify environmental hotspots in product design, sourcing, manufacturing and end-of-life strategies
• The role of LCAs in Scope 3 emissions reporting, environmental product declarations (EPDs), and product carbon footprints (PCFs)
• Strategies for integrating recycled content and circularity into LCA models
• How to manage data gaps and navigate complex supply chains when conducting LCAs
