Sustainability and Life Cycle Modelling Workshop
https://dgm.de/en/events/training-courses/sustainability-and-life-cycle-modellingThe aim of the training is to provide the participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform sustainability studies: environmental, economic and social impacts assessment. Additionally, it introduces eco-design, chemical risk assessment and EU Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD). An overview of sustainability reporting and corporate sustainability due diligence directive is also provided. The course is devided into 4 modules.
Module 1 focuses on conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in accordance with the methods and policies defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO 14040). This methodology provides useful information on a product’s life cycle impact on the environment, hence strategic to making decisions about design, policy, acquisition and corporate strategy. From this training, technical know-how, based on research and knowledge is provided in this quick-evolving area of circularity is provided.
Module 2 addresses economic aspects using material flow cost accounting (MFCA) based on ISO 14051, to evaluate the economic feasibility of processes and products. This is important in making techno-economic sustainable decisions applicable to industrial processes and productions. Potentially, MFCA is helpful in considering optimising resource efficiency.
Module 3 considers social life cycle assessment in accordance with the ISO 14040 and SDGs. This training will provide an overview of how material sourcing, production process, use and end-of-life impacts different stakeholders, for example, local communities, workers and consumers. To understand these principles, different tools and requirements as well as different case studies will be given. Social considerations, together with environmental and economic aspects provide a holistic and deeper understanding, thus impacting the decision-making processes.
Module 4 focuses on eco-design, chemical risk assessment (CRA) and EU Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD). A short overview of a chemical risk assessment will be given, followed by use cases and practical CRA exercises of different industrial processes. The module ends with an introduction to sustainability reporting and the European corporate sustainability due diligence directive, which differs significantly from the German Supply Chain Duty of Care Act.
