Call for abstract for #SETAC Vienna May 2025! What’s the added value of Life Cycle Assessment for chemical sustainability assessment under the EU JRC #SSbD framework? 👉 Do You have a strong opinion on this you want to share? 👉 Case studies to illustrate the value of #LCA in the SSbD context? 👉 A list of issues you faced while testing the SSbD Framework in your industry? This session is for you. Please submit your abstract here choosing : 5.02 - Safe and Sustainable Chemicals and Materials: The Role of Life Cycle Assessment in Chemicals Sustainability Assessment to Steer Innovation and Competitiveness https://lnkd.in/dPkqh-M4 I will co-chair this session with my colleagues: Carla Caldeira, Hanna Holmquist and Andrea Amadei. The ambition of pushing for chemicals and materials safe and sustainable in all life cycle stages is clashing with several methodological challenges to ensure the practical implementation of a complete and robust assessment: lack of toxicity data, lack of process data, the complexity of the modeling, time and cost, etc. Against this backdrop, this session calls for contributions focusing on the role of LCA to steer innovation, e.g. with new approaches for screening LCA, prospective LCA, scenario analysis, coupling LCA and machine learning/artificial intelligence to speed, and expanding the assessment or handling data gaps, coupling LCA and material flow analysis to enhance the system level assessment and to combine material to product scale. Moreover, it aims to explore the added value of LCA in assessing sustainability and circularity with special attention on the toxicity impact categories in LCA/PEF, considering the information obtained from risk assessment. LCA must provide information that is not already obtained in RA: RA addresses safety, while LCA addresses sustainability!
