At the end of each year we review the most important developments in LCIA. This year, we have new characterization factors, and methodology improvements and developments.
Integrated sustainability SimaPro Life cycle assessment
Now Trouw Nutrition’s Watson modeling tool is integrated with the SimaPro API, users of Watson have access to science-based sustainability metrics in real time and in great detail.
Daunted by the idea of doing an LCA? If you can bake a quiche, you can do this too. Just like in the kitchen, you really only need four types of elements for a reliable, valuable LCA.
Life cycle costing is very much similar to life cycle assessment. In this article you will find out what are the similarities, types and whether it can be done in SimaPro.
Blockchain energy use has no limits. How can we best allocate this energy use and the resulting environmental impacts? How should we consider miners, users, and investors?
The circular economy is an inspiring idea. And with the power of LCA behind it, the resulting new products, strategies and business models can fuel real change.
LCA, or life cycle assessment is the factual analysis of a product’s entire life cycle in terms of sustainability. With it, you can reliably evaluate the environmental impacts of your product or service from cradle to grave.
Some issues in LCA are heavily debated because there is no single right answer. How to allocate impacts in multifunctional processes or recycling is such a debate. This article explains the concepts underlying this issue.
Ecotoxicity describes the toxic effects of substances on ecosystems. A complex, yet critical topic for the effects on ecosystems and humans.
