To really make changes based on sustainability information, companies need to know how to value that information. Today, top management of two sustainability consultancies – Eric Mieras of PRé and Jan van der Kaaij of Finch & Beak – share their united vision of the way forward.

In a circular economy, the intention is to produce no waste or pollution. Instead, products, parts and materials are used, cared for, repaired, reused and recycled as much as possible. This requires new and innovative approaches to business, and assessment methods such as LCA to measure the effect. In our circular economy miniseries, we’ll address five ways to apply the circular economy and lca in your business. Today: product as a service.

Changing from decades of linear thinking into circular is hard... where to begin and how to follow through? Fortunately, some bright ideas to close loops just emerge from existing know-how.

EVENT | From 1st to 4th of September the city of Poznan in Poland will be the epicentre of the LCA community. The city will host the international LCM 2019 conference, one of the most important conferences in the field of life cycle thinking, where PRé will be broadly present. Since sharing, collaborating and empowering are in our veins, we will present our work and our vision on how the LCA community could increase their impact and contribute to a better world.
