Webinar: SOCA database for LCSA
SOCA – database for LCSA. Structure, features and methods.
Content
During this webinar, Franziska Eisfeldt from GreenDelta will present the SOCA database. SOCA is an add-on for the ecoinvent database containing social inventory data based on PSILCA. In the webinar, the soca database will be presented. Soca is an add‐on for the ecoinvent database containing social inventory data based on PSILCA. It allows practitioners to assess environmental, social and economic impacts of products simultaneously for the same product systems. To start with, Franziska will provide a brief introduction of LCSA. In continuation, she will present the structure, features and method of the soca add‐on, i.e. describe the mapping approach between PSILCA sectors and ecoinvent products, the selection and calculation of the activity variables and the assessment of data quality. To illustrate the application of soca in practice, the case of solar panels will be presented. For this purpose, environmental, social and economic impacts will be evaluated, analyzed and compared – among each other and to S‐LCA results calculated with PSILCA. The results can support manufacturers to assess products holistically, from the three different sustainability angles, which can influence business decisions and product development. The integrative assessments also helps to avoid setting the wrong priorities in terms of eco‐“socio”‐ efficiency.
There will also be time for questions and discussion.
