MATGAS, 20 May 2010

Welcome to the website for the first symposium on Sustainable Development of New Industrial Processes through Life Cycle Analysis.
The meeting was very successful, with around 40 delegates attending from both industries and academia.

Overview

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the one methodology that allows performing a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of products and services in a life-cycle perspective. Thanks to this unique approach, the LCA tool has developed at great pace during the last decades, and has found widespread applications in product development in industry, marketing of products, and within policy making, just to name a few.
