Life Cycle Assessment – Environmentally friendly product development through OpenLCA
Can you prove how environmentally friendly your products are? At a time when sustainability is increasingly becoming the key to competitiveness, companies are required to be transparent about their environmental impact. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which takes into account all phases of a product – from raw material extraction to disposal – plays a crucial role in this. Our online event offers you a comprehensive introduction to the methodology of life cycle assessment and the use of the open source software OpenLCA.
Find out how you can use this powerful software to perform your LCA calculations and the benefits of automated data processing and accurate reporting.
