Events Resources – Product Tools Webinars: LCA & MSI

Product Tools Webinars: LCA & MSI

In the Life Cycle Assessment and MSI webinar series we discuss each of the 5 Life Cycle Inventory Analysis indicators in depth. These webinars explain what they mean, why they are important and how they are measured. How do we measure the impact of products on climate change? How do we assess the impact of products on water resources or resource depletion? And how is the impact of chemicals to humans and ecosystems measured? 

In these webinars we hope to answer those questions for you.
