Explore expert insights on sustainability and life cycle thinking. Our articles offer practical advice, best practices, and the latest trends to support informed decisions.
Climate change: the responsibility we have
The sixth IPCC report made a big impact, showing the responsibility to curb climate change. At PRé, we see community as the deciding factor for achieving success.
5 roads to a circular economy – Part IV: sharing
The circular economy aims to produce no waste - by reusing, repairing and recycling materials in the highest possible quality, all measurable with LCA. An excellent way to get more use out of items is to share them.
5 roads to a circular economy – Part III: reusing waste
The circular economy aims to produce no waste - by reusing, repairing and recycling materials in the highest possible quality, all measurable with LCA. What are some ways to put waste materials to good use?
The EMA workbench: using parameter ranges to reduce uncertainty in LCA modeling
The EMA workbench tool can be used to tackle uncertainty in LCA modeling through computational experimentation and parameter ranges. A solar panel case study shows how it works.
Obscure impacts demystified: Acidification
Did you know acidification is called the evil twin of global warming? And for good reason, considering its effect on land and in the oceans. Read more on this obscure impact.
Important impact assessment developments of 2020
Every year, we highlight the most important developments in impact assessment methodology. The 2020 overview contains many gems worth reading up on.
Data dive: Network science meets life cycle assessment
For the best results, LCA experts should keep an eye out for tools from other fields. Let’s explore what LCA can learn from network science, its methods and ways of looking.
30 years of fact-based sustainability: celebration and looking ahead
PRé is turning 30 – a time to reminisce about where we started, celebrate the progress and community spirit in the sustainability field and look to the future challenges that lie ahead.
Obscure impacts demystified: Land use
Land use is another important but perhaps lesser known impact. Let’s discuss the subtleties of land use and land-use change, and how to account for it in LCA.
