Last week at the Life Cycle innovation Conference in Berlin, LCA and sustainability professionals gathered to discuss the challenges and the opportunities within their field. For those who are new to the acronym, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific method used to evaluate the environmental impact associated with all stages of a product's life, starting from raw material extraction to disposal or recycling. This method is increasingly applied in product design, policy making, strategic planning and corporate-level carbon emissions reporting.   Here are my takeaways from the conference:   🛠️👩🏽💻 Fast-growing demand for LCAs is best served by digital solutions that offer scalability without a compromise on reliability. PRé Sustainability, a long-time ecoinvent partner, showcased SimaPro Synergy, a new solution that delivers transparent environmental impact calculations at scale into any output platform of choice.   👨🏻🎓💡Evolving role of LCA and sustainability experts: scalable digital tools should complement, not replace, in-depth environmental analysis. LCA experts will have a key role in the design, implementation, and maintenance of digital solutions for non-experts and business users.   📁⚖️ Harmonization of methodologies: at an open workshop organized by Carbon Minds, Sphera and ecoinvent, LCA experts stressed the need for greater interoperability among background databases used for environmental impact assessment. Current disparities in methodology, structure and taxonomy make the comparison of results uneasy.   🔁🏅Data-based collaboration in supply-chains: industry pioneers are leading by example with sharing product footprint information across their value chain. ecoinvent clients, iPoint Systems and Siemens presented how integration between their Product Sustainability and SiGREEN solutions help corporations automate their product carbon footprint calculations and effectively share these results with stakeholders across their supply chain. Johnson & Johnson showcased how an ambitious consortium of Sanofi, Pfizer, Roche and Takeda established a standardized impact assessment methodology, data and tooling that helped create a leveled playing field for clinical trials in the sector.   📣🏃🏻♂️➡️ Harnessing the power of storytelling is key for effective science communication. Closer collaboration between sustainability, business and communication professionals is essential to translate complex scientific results into actionable insight.   Special thanks to Forum for Sustainability through Life Cycle Innovation e.V. - FSLCI for the superb organization!   #lcic2024 #sustainability #esg #compliance #innovation #ecoinvent #datagovernance #data #lca #ScienceCommunication #Storytelling #Collaboration #ecoinvent

We're pleased to announce that ecoinvent Project Manager Valeria Superti has been selected to serve on the Junior Board of the IRTC | International Round Table on Materials Criticality.   As a Junior Representative, Valeria will join a global network of experts dedicated to shaping the future of critical raw materials. She will contribute to identifying core topics in material criticality on the international agenda, collaborate with Senior Board Members to develop IRTC event programs, and actively participate in the annual IRTC conference.   Resource availability is a crucial aspect of our economy, influencing societal, economic, and ecological issues. The importance of material criticality, especially for technologies like clean energy production, is still emerging. The IRTC project has been promoting knowledge exchange on this topic from various regional and methodological perspectives. It brings together platforms that discuss life cycle assessment, industrial ecology, and sustainable development.   The IRTC project, coordinated by the ESM Foundation and supported by EIT RawMaterials, benefits from the advice of a broad network of experts.

🌍 As the environmental impacts of human activities become more visible and urgent, societies worldwide are working towards sustainable, science-based solutions. At ecoinvent, we are dedicated to supporting high-quality, data-driven environmental assessments.   Our flagship activity is the publication of the ecoinvent database—a comprehensive life cycle inventory database that provides reliable and transparent information on the environmental impacts of various products and services. With over 20,000 datasets modeling human activities and processes, our database supports a broad range of sustainability evaluations, including Life Cycle Assessment studies.   Our data allows users to trace the impacts of their products throughout the supply chain, from raw material extraction to recycling. Our database is a compass and a catalyst for change.   Watch our "ecoinvent in a nutshell" video to learn more about our mission and how we compile and review the best available environmental data.   For more information about our organization, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ezw7dphR   #ecoinvent #ecoinventdatabase #sustainability #environmentaldata #LCA #LifeCycleAssessment #climateaction

We are pleased to announce that our Project Manager Antonio Valente has been invited to give a lecture in the PhD program of the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Ambiente, del Territorio e delle Infrastrutture - DIATI at Politecnico di Torino in Turin, Italy.   On Wednesday, July 3rd, Antonio will present "Life Cycle Inventory: The ecoinvent Database" in a course led by Professor Giovanni Andrea Blengini. Antonio will provide an overview of the ecoinvent database, delve into the data publication process and quality control, and share an insightful use case on batteries, highlighting problem identification, resolution, and implications.   This lecture will underscore the critical importance of maintaining high-quality LCA data and the mutual benefits of industry collaboration with the ecoinvent database. Such partnerships ensure the data's representativeness, enabling companies to better comprehend the environmental impacts of their products and make well-informed decisions.   Professor Blengini, an expert in raw material criticality, leads the LCA research group at the university and teaches courses on Life Cycle Assessment and Resources & Environmental Sustainability.   We look forward to fostering further collaboration and knowledge exchange within the LCA community!   #ecoinvent #LCA #sustainability #ecoinventdatabase #lifecycleassessment #PoliTO
