Podcasts about life cycle assessment

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!Our hosts are joined by Lucy Wishart, lecturer in Circular Economy and Sustainable Transformations at the University of Edinburgh. In this episode they explore how rental models fit into academic, practical, and social aspects of circularity.From the idea of “consumption work” (and how rental reduces it) to what makes circular systems messy by nature, this conversation is packed with insight.Lucy explains how rental plays a key role in circular economy frameworks like the Nine R's and Product-Service Systems, offering an alternative to ownership-based consumption.The discussion explores both the potential and pitfalls of rental - from shifting consumption habits to labor and logistical challenges. "There's a distinction between circularity and the circular economy. Circularity can be quite small scale and local… but the circular economy requires more than one product, more than one organisation — it's collective. It requires us to work together."This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch. We specialise in technology and software development for Circular Economy minded purpose-driven businesses.

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this episode, our hosts Tandi Tuakli and Barry O'Kane had a fascinating conversation with Leah Pollen, a specialist in profitability and circular strategies within the used electronics market, particularly mobile devices. Leah shares deep insights into how the mobile phone industry's leasing and trade-in programs—especially driven by OEMs like Apple and Samsung—created what she calls “accidental circularity.” Leah also explains the business case for phone rental models, including calculations around device depreciation, residual value, repair logistics, and customer return behaviors.One of the biggest barriers Leah identifies is mindset. Many organisations are still entrenched in linear thinking—focusing on sales volume, product obsolescence, and short-term wins. She stresses the importance of redefining what product success looks like in a circular model.Our hosts and Leah draw parallels between mobile phones and other sectors like fashion, luxury goods, and homeware—discussing where circular lessons could be applied and where challenges persist due to differing value chains and consumer behaviors.This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch.

Welcome back to HappyPorch Radio: the circular economy technology podcast!In this special episode our host Barry O'Kane is joined by Charlotte Morley, CEO of thelittleloop, and Ryan Atkins, CEO of Supercycle, to discuss the ripple effects of - ongoing and very fluid - changes to US tariffs and De Minimis import rules on the circular economy in the UK, EU, and US. The conversation, which originated from a passionate exchange on LinkedIn, explores both the opportunities and challenges these potential policy changes present for circularity-focused businesses. The discussion ranges widely from there, covering everything from policy to the importance of smaller, ethical brands to circularity.We discussed how reduced ease of importing low-cost new goods could boost demand for resale and second-hand markets, potentially benefiting the circular economy. While acknowledging the long-term benefits, our guests explained that many small ethical and sustainable brands are already overwhelmed by rising costs, market saturation from fast-fashion giants like Shein and Temu, and how, potentially, additional pressure from tariffs could undermine the "feedstock" of quality products essential for a thriving circular economy.Both guests stress the importance of empathy and support for brands navigating these tough times. They discuss how circularity enablers like their own companies must make circular business models (like takeback and resale programs) as frictionless and financially viable as possible. They also touch on the slow progress of legislation and the need for government mandates and funding to truly shift the industry toward reuse, not just recycling.The conversation concludes with a call to action for both policy involvement and practical support to ensure circularity is not just a long-term goal, but a near-term strategic advantage for businesses.Tune in to learn about how there is, despite current difficulties, a sense of cautious optimism: more brands are beginning to prioritise circularity, although slowly.This podcast is brought to you by HappyPorch.

A Life cycle assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impacts of a product or service. This podcast with Diane Aston, Sophie Parsons and Louis Brimacomb gives a brief overview of key elements, why someone would want to complete an LCA, and what the limitations are.

Markham interviews Michele Demers, CEO of US firm Boundless Impact Research & Analytics.

In a society pushing most planetary boundaries, how can venture capital step in and scale the technologies we need to change the world?That's the power behind Planet A Ventures, led by environmental advocate and policymaker Lena Thiede.Lena is a co-founding partner of Planet A — a cutting-edge green tech venture capital fund that only invests in European startups with a proven and significant positive impact on the environment. They've already hit an important milestone, raising an impressive €160 million in 2023 that has been put into action for backing and scaling startups with groundbreaking green technologies in development. What's truly unique about Planet A Ventures is that they're the only early-stage VC with an in-house science team dedicated to conducting rigorous lifecycle assessments before investing, which Lena leads. This means they place the highest value on impact as the primary screening metric, guaranteeing significant positive outcomes for climate, biodiversity, and beyond.Lena is a prominent figure in environmental research and policy, thanks to her substantial background in climate science and over 11 years of experience as a senior government official at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. She knew early on in her childhood that she wanted to be involved in political science and environmental protection, a desire that landed her in government programs in Tanzania and East Africa, focusing on biodiversity and water resource monitoring and evaluation. Lena has also done environmental research for the German Advisory Council on Global Change, OECD, GIZ, and the Ecologic Institute. She also advises the EXIST Program of the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, promoting more science-based startups.Tune in to hear all the fascinating examples of science-based impact investing that Lena shares, along with how Planet A is transforming the landscape of sustainable venture capital.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

  Jim Fava is the recently retired Executive Director at Anthesis Group, which supports businesses and governments in understanding and navigating the risks and opportunities they face. Throughout his career, Jim has provided invaluable guidance, tools, and expertise on strategies and actions that enable organizations to operate in a more environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. Renowned as the "father of modern-day life cycle assessment," he has devoted his career to advancing and promoting the practice and application of life cycle information worldwide. His efforts have contributed significantly to supporting global decision-making processes. Notably, he led the United States delegation responsible for shaping the first generation of ISO LCA standards. Moreover, Jim co-founded influential organizations such as the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative, Five Winds International, and the Forum for Sustainability through Life Cycle Innovation (FSLCI).   Today, Jim and I discuss what his career taught him about supporting businesses and governments, turning risks into opportunities, and strategies and actions to operate more sustainably. Jim shares his journey from frat house to c-suite and talks about how he saw the human impact on the environment firsthand and started focusing on sustainability. He outlines life cycle assessment and how it helps us understand the environmental impact of a product over its entire life. He cites disposable diapers as a case study to understand life cycle assessment. Jim also recounts his experience in developing the Technical Framework for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the Code of Practice that eventually became the foundation of the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) Environmental Management Standards.    “You have to put what we want to have happen in the language of the decision-makers, and that's our revenue, brand, cost, and risk management.” - Jim Fava   This week on Innovation Talks:   ●     Jim's best sustainable business strategies ●     The Life Cycle Assessment journey to sustainability ●     What cloth diapers can teach us about sustainability ●     How Jim developed the Life Cycle Assessment Methodology ●     How Life Cycle thinking affects product design ●     The seven golden rules for achieving sustainability ●     How to drive change ●     The urgency of sustainability in business management ●     The role of the product manager   Resources Mentioned:   ●     Early Life Cycle Assessment Books Laid the Foundation for Modern-Day LCA (https://globe.setac.org/early-life-cycle-assessment-books-laid-the-foundation-for-modern-day-lca/) ●     The Origins of LCA: Perspective from The Father of Modern-Day Life Cycle Assessment (https://www.anthesisgroup.com/the-origins-of-lca-perspective-from-the-father-of-modern-day-life-cycle-assessment/)   Connect with Jim Fava:   ●     Jim Fava Website (https://globe.setac.org/) ●     Jim Fava on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-fava-04b88b5/)   This Podcast is brought to you by Sopheon   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Innovation Talks.

“I wrote a book, Ecological Intelligence, on how the environment and human psychology interact in a rather sad way, which is this: Everything that we buy and use has a negative impact on the systems that support life on this planet. That's a sad fact. Our material world is destroying our natural material world, and we deny it. But I have a strategy, which I'm putting forward everywhere I can. I don't think we're going to change the system of capitalism, at least not in time to save the planet. So the question is: Can we use economic incentives? Can we use the leverage in our economic system for better rather than worse ends? What I argue is that younger people will see the impacts on the planet of what they buy and use as an imperative—not as something they don't want to think about, but as an essential. If that's the case, then a smart business strategy in the next 10 or 20 years would be to apply a believable, objective assessment methodology, like Life Cycle Assessment, to products and services in order to show that we are lessening their negative impact.”Daniel Goleman is an American psychologist, author, and science journalist.

We are back! Thank you for your patience while we sorted out a bit of our workload, but your reward is that this week we are doing one of my favourite episodes. It has taken a lot of research and a lot of reading that made me really quite f*cking angry about the way we do things. Today we are talking about what is actually good for the environment, Plastic glass or aluminium and one of them is the absolute worst and it's not what you think. And the answer to what we can do may also not be what you think. I also used a tool called Life Cycle Analysis to put this episode together and you'll find links to it further down in the show notes. In this episode I share: Which form of bottle is actually the worse What the best option is if you only consider disposal The three reasons we cannot recycle our way out of the crisis The reason none of the current options are a good choice Why I started Incrediballs Key Quotes “Reduce reuse and then recycle. Reduce is the key, reuse is more important and recycling is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff." “None of them are the good choice. There is the better choice and the worst choice but none of them are good because they are all inherently single use.” “We cannot recycle our way out of this crisis.” More Information Sources: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348005008_Life_Cycle_Assessment_of_Beverage_Packaging https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11367-020-01804-x https://www.aluminum.org/Recycling https://international-aluminium.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/wa_factsheet_final.pdf https://www.cityservices.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/1368618/NOWaste-Aluminum-Factsheet_Update-March-2022_ACCESS.pdf https://environment.govt.nz/what-government-is-doing/areas-of-work/waste/container-return-scheme/ https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution.

Did you know that in the UK alone, 22 million pieces of furniture are discarded each year, the majority of which goes directly to landfill. That amounts to an estimated 670,000 tonnes of furniture wasted, where a significant portion could be recycled and reused. (Source) It's clear to see the need for a more sustainable approach to furniture design, manufacture and lifecycle, which is where today's guest, Design Conformity, come in. Design Conformity live and breathe circular design, the process for creating products sustainably from the beginning, and offer a Life Cycle Assessment Certification Process which has already led to significant carbon reductions. Mel is joined by Adam Hamilton-Fletcher, Founder and Director at Design Conformity, to discuss the application of circular design within the furniture manufacture industry and explain how their Life Cycle Assessment certification process can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint. You'll learn ·       Who are Design Conformity? ·       What is circular design and how does it help companies reduce their carbon footprint? ·       What are the benefits of Design Conformity's certification? ·       Can sustainability be of financial and environmental benefit to businesses? ·       Examples of circular design in practice   Resources ·       The ISO Show ·       Design Conformity ·       Carbon Calculator ·       Circular Design Guide   In this episode, we talk about: [00:25] Introducing today's guest – We welcome Adam Hamilton-Fletcher, Founder and Director at Design Conformity, onto the show. Design Conformity are currently setting the standard in retail sustainability, particularly in relation to the furniture industry. [01:30] Who are Design Conformity? Adam worked in the manufacturing industry for about 15 years, designing lighting systems for major retailers like boots, Next, Marks & Spencers and Morrisons. He worked primarily with the lighting used in displays, and had been tasked with selling lighting products. In order to do so, he needed to develop a specification to help understand customer requirements, which would then be used to develop their ideal solution. The problem: There were little to no Standards in UK and Europe for the retail display industry. Which directly led to the creation of Design Conformity – who started out as an electrical and lighting Standard certification company, that developed into a full carbon certification company. They aim to become the gold Standard for sustainable furniture design. [03:10] What is Circular Design? – Circular design is born out of this principle of a circular economy. To compare, a linear economy is when we take a raw material, use it, process it, and then it's just disposed of, usually straight to landfill. Whereas, circular economy is where we take that waste product and we design it so that it can be repurposed and refreshed and reused. Those materials can then eventually be recycled – so the goal is to not use any raw materials at any point. Circular design is the intent to minimise environmental impact, to design equipment that could be reused and repurposed, and then at the end of its life be recycled. [04:05] How do Design Conformity operate? – Design Conformity look at the way that companies design their furniture and then take them through a learning process (online course). They help businesses to understand how to design a product in such a way where it can be repurposed or reused, where raw material usage can be reduced and where the shipping requirements can be reduced. They provide guidance and advice on recommended materials, including the provision on an online carbon calculator. They also provide reporting in alignment with existing carbon standards, such as ISO 14064, for product evaluation. [06:55] How can the Carbon Calculator help? By selecting a product of a particular type, you can use the estimator by entering the details of where and what you're manufacturing, and then it will give you a carbon footprint for that, which you can use to compare that against other industry designers. It displays these other designers anonymously, but you can get a feel for if your product is above or below the average for carbon emissions.  [08:55] An example of the Carbon Calculator in practice –  Design Conformity recently worked with Costa Coffee, who were looking to reduce the environmental impact of their of their shops and coffee lounges. The beginning of that process is to work with their manufacturers, to identify the environmental impact of the furniture that they've got. They used the Carbon Calculator to help create an initial benchmark, which highlighted key indicators that can lead to carbon reductions. [09:35] Design Conformity's Certification – They've borrowed the concept used by existing Energy Performance Certificates, by having a carbon efficiency index, ranging from C1 – C7. Their score is a bit more unique however as it incorporates elements of circular design. Their score is based on a products total carbon emissions, divided by it's size and total lifespan. An Ecolabel is then awarded based on the final score. [11:45] What are the benefits of Design Conformity's certification?:- ·       It's a mix between carbon reporting and a carbon rating. ·       It's easier for consumers to understand the benefits in comparison to companies that advertise compliance with ISO 14064 and PAS 2060. ·       Not just a green label, as reporting is a key component of gaining certification. ·       It provides a cradle to cradle analysis on a products carbon footprint and translates that into something that is recognisable. [14:15] Are businesses right to be skeptical about the value of the cost versus the value of environmental certification?– 100%! It's not uncommon for eco labels to be more of a marketing tool rather than a tool for tangible carbon reduction. A lot of them out there are unregulated and are contributing to green washing. That's where Design Conformity's differs, as they actually collate and process real data to provide tangible value and add credibility to their claims.  [16:10] Will there be a time where sustainability can be of financial and environmental benefit to businesses? – Yes, absolutely!  And if there is a way to do that, it's through Circular Design. As an example, if you're a manufacturing company that's producing shelving, you need to buy in steel, which can fluctuate a lot in price at any given time. But you don't need to buy more steel every time, where instead you could get your original product back, reprocess and redistribute. Adam has experience of suppliers who are practicing this, they purchase their products back at 40%-50% of the price, saving a lot of money in raw material! [19:00] Examples of companies who have embraced circular design – Tesco: They've introduced a policy whereby they purchase metal shelving, use it for 5 years, then take it back out of the store to get powder coated, cleaned and reintroduced to the store. That reduces the carbon footprint by 70% in comparison to buying a new shelving set! Boots: Their beauty halls wanted to introduce a lot of new brands, which meant a lot more displays were needed. Boots started working with Design Conformity towards earning their certification, specifically in relation to the lighting they used in stores. With Design Confomity's help, they managed to reduce the carbon footprint at selected stores by 39%! [21:20] Circular Design Guide – 14 people were involved in creating this guide, which is designed to give you an introduction to and overview of circular design. Access it over on their website.

In previous episodes of the Nexus Podcast, experts from across the University showcased how Jefferson trains students to focus on sustainable practices in the classroom and beyond. Those areas ranged from fashion-design students creating new garments from repurposed Converse sneakers and vintage gloves and the impacts of climate change and climate related disasters on health and healthcare delivery, to the creation of the multidisciplinary Institute from Smart and Healthy Cities. Still, the topic is of such acute interest to students and faculty here at the University that – to commemorate October's standing as Campus Sustainability Month – we will revisit the area and highlight additional means through which the focus turns to sustainability. In this episode of the Nexus Podcast, you will hear from those who established our College of Architecture and the Built Environment as one of the earliest programs to zero in on sustainable design as an area of focus. You'll also hear from folks at the Kanbar College of Design, Engineering and Commerce who, upon fielding requests from students interested in learning more, are in the second year of offering an “Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment” elective which applies sustainability on a more granular level.

A conversation with Tina Owens, regenerative agriculture consultant and part of the Nutrient Density Alliance (for Regenerative Agriculture), about the state of the nutrient density space, the research, why life cycle assessments are broken and a lot more.We are at the telegraph stage of nutrition, and that means lots of opportunities for companies. What does it mean that only 1% of nutrition data is tracked on food labels. Does it mean we should wait until the science is completely clear? Or, is there a lot of space on which food companies, large and small, can already act and secure a leading role in a space that seems completely open at the moment.The promise of molecular food mapping and its potential to illuminate the nutritional dark matter of our daily intake is also on our radar. The future is at our fingertips, with wearable technology and mass spectrometers in play to help us grasp our food's nutritional content better. It is necessary a more inclusive approach that respects organic, perennial, regenerative, and indigenous managed lands. ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/tina-owens.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

He's in the trenches, living in excel, and working on the life cycle assessments (LCAs) for carbon emissions. In today's episode, we cover:An overview of Carbon Direct and where John sits in their portfolio of servicesProjects that require life cycle assessments (LCAs)How he thinks about climate and how his perspective has evolvedHow John got involved with carbon removalScaling carbon removal to a level that mattersCharacteristics to consider when selecting CDR technologiesBarries holding CDR backThe process behind developing LCAs for different projectsTypes of clients and business drivers for Carbon Direct's LCA servicesThe need for LCA standardization and challenges in doing soTooling for LCAs and blind spotsDifferences in LCAs between small vs. big companies and across sectorsIncentives for a company to care about LCA accuracyFor-profit LCA work vs. non-profit approachesWhen companies should start thinking about tracking LCAsGet connected: Jason JacobsMCJ PodcastMCJ Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded August 1, 2022.

Do you know how to conduct a life cycle assessment? Also referred to as LCA, life cycle assessment denotes a methodology that helps to quantify the environmental pressures related to products, processes, and services, and helps organizations maximize their sustainability while streamlining manufacturing processes. EarthShift Global is an international consulting firm that supports large-scale organizations and startups alike in leveraging LCAs to enhance the efficiency and minimize the waste of their products. In this episode, MIT Professional Education´s Professor Jeremy Gregory interviews Lise Laurin, CEO, and Founder of EarthShift Global to speak about the challenges involved in such an ambitious operation.

25% of the global carbon emissions come from the food industry. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a great tool that can be used to help reduce the carbon footprint of the food we produce. In this episode, Tad and Julianna sit down with Mark Izzo, Co-founder and CEO of Bright Future Foods, to discuss Bright Future Foods and Airly Foods, how significant the food industry's carbon emissions are, how Airly is using food to reduce climate change, carbon-converting farms, the use of LCA to reduce the carbon footprint of Airly crackers, regenerative agriculture, and what's next for Airly Foods.

We all know that climate change is real and that we have to do something about it. In today's podcast extra episode, we go behind the scenes at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and talk to Anders Hammer Strømman, who was one of the lead authors for their latest report, released in April this year. Anders is a professor at NTNU's Industrial Ecology Programme where he has specialized in Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental input-output analysis, which are tools that enable us to understand the real environmental costs of the goods and materials we use in everyday life.We talk about why cutting carbon emissions quickly is a little like skiing up a big mountain, how battery companies need to come clean when it comes to how they make their products, why some version of a home office could be good for the planet, and why your individual choices can actually make a difference. And we talk about why Anders is optimistic and thinks we can make this shift — even though the governments of the world have been slow to act. Anders encouraged me (and by extension, you, my listeners) to look at the entire report (nearly 3000 pages — not 3675 as I say in the podcast!) but that's probably more than most of us have time for. You can look at the chapter that Anders was lead author on, on Transport, here (the link will start a pdf download). You can read an even more condensed version of the WG III report and its major findings here. The bottom line is that we CAN make this happen! Thanks this week for help from Ole Marius Ringstad, who did the sound design for the episode. Stay tuned for an update about next season, coming in the autumn.

In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen talks with Dave Henderson and Gary Yoder. Dave is the Vice President of Specialty Products for Asphalt Materials, Inc., a Heritage Group company. He has been in the asphalt industry for 30 years and has commercialized multiple asphalt technologies throughout the United States, China, and Brazil. Dave has an undergraduate degree in Finance and an MBA and lives in Zionsville, IN, with his wife, Dani. Gary is the Vice President of Environmental Services at ClimeCo. He has 30 years of experience primarily providing environmental compliance consulting services to industrial sector clients. Gary has been with ClimeCo for 8 years and currently supports and manages projects within their Sustainability, Policy, and Advisory team. He has a Master's in Meteorology and works out of Raleigh, North Carolina. We invite our listeners to ‘get in the weeds' on the topic of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to understand what goes into this process and why companies undertake them, all centered around a case study that is a Resource Boost listed below. In short, an LCA is designed to answer the question: How sustainable is a product or process? This differs from a Life Cycle Cost Assessment (LCCA), a project management tool that analyzes the most cost-effective options based on the desired outcomes. Listen as Kaitlyn, Dave, and Gary guide us through the journey of a LCA through the lens of the asphalt industry (the most recycled material in the US by weight), discussing the what, the why, and the how, as it provides a solid foundation for this concept. In typical ESG Decoded fashion, this discussion is chock full of valuable terms and acronyms, including J-band, LCCA, ISO, PCR, and EPD. This serves as a great foundation for the ESG novice and a helpful reminder for the seasoned ESG pro.

Sustainability in sport involves three main components or pillars of sustainability. We should think about economic security, social justice and environmental quality. The goal within sustainability is balance, balancing these 3 pillars so as to achieve the most sustainable practices in our current and future sporting world. Sustainability relates to sport by the equipment and facilities used, the means of viewing the event, the resources involved for powering and creating an event at a particular location, and much more. Social justice will be critical to the viability of sports going forward. Climate change has already made profound impacts on both local and global sports, and we should consider innovative ways of tackling this issue.
