News about the PEF initiative: the pilot phase is being extended to ensure the best outcomes and to pave the way for straightforward implementation. Read on to find out what goals are still to be met in this phase, and for the new schedule.
In our biodiversity series, we discuss the impact assessment of biodiversity. In this article, we link climate change to biodiversity and pose one final question for all sustainability professionals and policy makers interested in biodiversity.
GUEST POST | Standards are very important, especially in complex industries such as construction. But sometimes they cause more challenges than they solve, as is the case with the EN 15804 building standard. A guest post by researcher Sahar Mirzaie.
In our biodiversity series, we account for the effects of biodiversity in impact assessment. In this article, we tie land use to loss of biodiversity. What has the biggest impact, land conversion or land use? And who do we hold responsible?
Biodiversity provides a lot of value to humankind, directly or indirectly, and often in ways you don't immediately realise. In this article, we discuss how to work with current LCA methods, albeit imperfect, to assess your impact on biodiversity.
Biodiversity is an important topic for sustainability professionals and policymakers. In this article, we start to unravel biodiversity impact assessment. Some starting points: how do you define nature? And why is nature so valuable?
PEF SERIES | The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) approach is game-changing in product assessment. This week, we give a short update on the first building block towards EF-compliant data, the energy and transport data
PEF SERIES | The use stage of products is a challenge for LCA: the impact can be high, and the underlying assumptions uncertain. PEF provides guidance to PEFCR developers on how to deal with use-stage modeling and reporting.
Standardization of LCIA methods was the focus of this year's SETAC Pellston Workshop. The results: big steps towards consensus on recommended indicators, which will make doing, interpreting and communicating LCA results easier and more efficient.
A 3D-printed object is created with no waste material at all, in contrast to other industrial manufacturing processes. Does that mean 3D printing really is a perfect solution for efficiency? Read this month’s Sustainability Mythbusters.
