LCA ECI for producers

Understanding LCA and ECI for product development and procurement

Suitable for:

Producer Producer

Description

Manufacturers are increasingly being asked about the environmental performance of their products. Reliable LCA and ECI data are essential in this regard, as is an understanding of how this data is used in procurement, product development and communications.

This hands-on training gives manufacturers, demolishers and service providers an understanding of the LCA process, their own role in it and the application of results in practice. From data collection and cooperation with LCA specialists to the use of results in EPDs and tenders. We pay attention to the applicable standards, such as EN 15804 and the Dutch Determination Method.

The training shows why it is not enough to just have LCA data ready. You will learn how LCA and ECI become part of a continuous improvement cycle, where results are used for optimization and further sustainability.

For whom
This training is suitable for manufacturers and service providers who work with LCA and ECI, including technical specialists, commercial employees and organizations that want to properly substantiate their environmental performance and communicate convincingly to customers and clients.
