Webinar - Environment and Resources Standards Exchange – Life Cycle Assessment

Webinar - Environment and Resources Standards Exchange – Life Cycle Assessment

This webinar will provide organisations with information on the importance of having a holistic system of LCA based on SS ISO 14040 “LCA — Principles and framework” and ISO 14044 “LCA - Requirements and guidelines”. Participants will also learn how their organisations can make use of these standards to identify opportunities to improve the environmental performance of their products at various stages in their life cycle. Through these learnings, the desired outcome is that organisations will take more initiative and ownership in reducing the environmental impact of their products so as to be more sustainable and garner the support of an increasingly environmentally-conscious consumer market.

ISO LCA standards can assist in

• addressing the environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts (e.g. use of resources and environmental consequences of releases) throughout a product’s life cycle from raw material acquisition through production, use, end-of-life treatment, recycling and final disposal (i.e. cradle-to-grave)
• informing decision-makers in industry, government or non-government organisations (e.g. for the purpose of strategic planning, priority setting, product or process design or redesign)
• the selection of relevant indicators of environmental performance, including measurement techniques
• marketing (e.g. implementing an ecolabelling scheme, making an environmental claim, or producing an environmental product declaration)

Potential users of ISO LCA standards include government agencies, professional institutions, professional services and consultancies, and companies keen to implement LCA for their products and services.
