Impact measurement, life cycle assessment & the LCA Self Assessment tool

In this Expert Café you will get an explanation and background information, from a scientific angle, about impact measurement in general and life cycle analysis (LCA) in particular. Which role can it play and which not? What developments are there within Europe and how are they implemented in the Netherlands?

During this webinar, the new Self Assessment tool was launched. This tool is intended for SMEs to quickly and easily gain insight into the circularity and environmental impact of product(s). The tool was realized by TNO, LBP | Sight and CIRCO, supported by the Circular Manufacturing Industry Implementation Program and is freely available to everyone.

CIRCO

The circular economy does not arise by itself. CIRCO (a program of TKI-CLICKNL) focuses on getting a new market moving. CIRCO therefore activates - with the support of the government - entrepreneurs and creative professionals to (re)design products, services and business models in order to then do circular business.
