Webinar: Variations in frameworks for LCA: Implications on environmental performance of biofuels
Recording Fuel producers are increasingly affected by conflicting rules for life cycle assessment (LCA) as different frameworks all have different requirements and modelling approaches. This can affect the LCA results and sometimes the conclusions,…
The method for modeling material recycling can have a decisive impact on the environmental assessment of products with a high content of recycled material or material that is recycled after use. How recycling should be modeled in LCA has been discussed since the 90's but no consensus has yet been reached. The project is expected to result in increased competence and in consensus on certain aspects of the modeling of recycling in LCA.
