Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental Product Declarations

Buyers and regulators increasingly demand evidence of a product's environmental footprint across its whole life. This programme teaches delegates to conduct life cycle assessments and prepare environmental product declarations. The emphasis is on rigorous, defensible analysis that supports procurement, design and marketing decisions.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the stages of a life cycle assessment and its guiding standards.
  • Define the goal, scope and functional unit for a product assessment.
  • Compile a life cycle inventory of inputs, outputs and emissions.
  • Interpret impact assessment results across relevant environmental categories.
  • Prepare an environmental product declaration from assessment findings.
  • Use life cycle results to inform design, procurement and marketing claims.
