Mar 2023First WaterProof Stakeholder Webinar on LCA and S-LCA
There clearly is value in waste(water) CO₂. Still monitoring and evaluating the environmental, economical and social scope of CO₂ as a feedstock and related processing is challenging. One of the most common instruments in this context is the Life Cycle Assistent (LCA), which can be extended to to a social focus in the frame of a Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA). WaterProof includes a variety of partners from industry and science that offer very different levels of LCA knowledge. To get everyone on the same page, this free online webinar will provide a comprehensive introduction on the three pillars of LCA – sustainability, economics and social aspects, and you are kindly invited to join.
