| The 3rd internal workshop on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) within the GREEN-LOOP project took place on January 27, focusing on the LCA of the three value chains involved in the project. This session aimed to provide a deeper understanding of LCA methodologies and their application to sustainable manufacturing systems based on novel bio-based materials.
This workshop was designed to equip participants with both theoretical and practical insights into LCA, emphasizing its importance in assessing the environmental impact of materials throughout their entire life cycle. Trainers from AIMEN, Carlos Bernárdez Casás and Rocío Pena Rois, led the session, delivering key knowledge on the methodology, tools, and applications of LCA within the GREEN-LOOP project. The workshop was conducted online via Microsoft Teams and incorporated interactive elements through tools such as PowerPoint and Mentimeter. Over the course of 1 hour and 10 minutes, participants explored several core aspects of LCA, including:
The session began with an introduction and ice-breaking activity, allowing participants to engage before diving into the core topics. This was followed by an explanation of the LCA framework, its relevance to the GREEN-LOOP value chains, and a discussion on the practical application of LCA tools. This internal workshop aligns with GREEN-LOOP’s broader objectives of promoting sustainable manufacturing practices and evaluating the lifecycle impact of bio-based materials. By integrating LCA into decision-making processes, the project seeks to enhance the sustainability of materials across different stages of production and use.
The insights shared in this workshop will contribute to ongoing efforts in optimizing the environmental footprint of materials within the GREEN-LOOP framework. Future sessions will continue to build on these discussions.
