Harnessing Technology for Sustainable Life Cycle Assessment

As businesses increasingly prioritise sustainability and environmental performance, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become essential for measuring and managing the environmental impact of products and processes. However, conducting comprehensive and accurate LCAs can be complex and time-consuming, requiring collecting and analysing vast amounts of data. This event explores how cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, are revolutionising the field of LCA, enabling more efficient, transparent, and reliable assessments.

Key topics include:

1. The challenges and opportunities of traditional LCA methods and the potential for technology to streamline and enhance the process.
2. The application of AI and machine learning techniques in LCA, including data mining, predictive modelling, and optimisation.
3. Real-world case studies demonstrate the use of AI in LCA, such as automated data collection, impact assessment, and scenario analysis.
4. The role of blockchain technology in creating transparent, tamper-proof, and decentralised databases for LCA data, ensuring data integrity and facilitating collaboration among stakeholders.
5. They are emerging tools and platforms that harness AI and blockchain to support LCA, such as automated LCA software, data marketplaces, and intelligent contract-based systems.
6. Future trends and research directions in the intersection of technology and LCA and their potential impact on sustainability decision-making.

Through expert presentations, interactive panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, attendees will understand technology's transformative potential in LCA and learn how to leverage these innovations to enhance their sustainability efforts.
