DF 46 – End-of-life and waste management in life cycle assessment
Dear colleagues with an interest in Life Cycle Assessment,
We kindly invite you to the 46th Discussion Forum on Life Cycle Assessment: End-of-life and waste management in life cycle assessment. This event will be held in English on Tuesday the 6th of December 2011 in Zürich at the ETH.
Efficient waste management is a key component in society’s strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of its economic activities. With novel emerging products and materials, established waste management systems are continuously posed with new challenges to protect humans and the environment. Through its comprehensive system approach, LCA is frequently put forward as a suitable tool for the assessment of waste management activities. This DF will present some of the latest methodological developments in LCA, as well as novel practical applications, related to end-of-life and waste management. A focus will be placed on identification of existing and arising ‘weak spots’ in LCA, and strategies to strengthen the position of LCA as decision support tool in waste management and waste-related policy making.
We look forward to meeting you in Zürich!
Dominik Saner, Carl Vadenbo and Tobias Walser (ESD/ETH Zurich - CH)
