Understanding Life Cycle Assessment for Chemicals
October 29, 2026
Curious about Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and why it matters for chemicals? This training gives you a clear introduction: what LCA is, how to develop an assessment and communicate results effectively. No prior knowledge required.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impact of a chemical substance or mixture across its entire life cycle – from raw material extraction to disposal. For chemical companies, LCA is key to meeting customer demand for product based carbon footprint data, identifying environmental hotspots for innovation, and understanding the role it plays in policy development.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the purpose of LCA and its role in (upcoming) EU regulations and customer requirements
- Learn what is needed to develop LCAs using suitable standards, tools, and data
- Gain knowledge on communicating LCA results effectively within the supply chain and communication channels
- Explore the Together for Sustainability (TfS) standard used in the chemical industry
