The first Lifecycle Assessment Regulatory Science & Innovation Network (#LCARSIN) workshop has taken place! 🌱 LCARSIN, a Network initiated by the Royce Institute and launched by researchers from The University of Manchester, The University of Sheffield and Unilever, is targeting the UK’s materials supply chain and policymakers. The goal is to boost the effective use of life cycle assessments (LCA) to reduce environmental impacts throughout the supply chain. The LCA Network workshop was a huge success, gathering over 60 participants to discuss the future of LCA in the UK. Key session topics included: 📍 Establishing the role of the network 📍Regulation & policy influence 📍Training & skills 📍Network sustainability Learn more about the workshop and the future of the UK #LCA Network here: https://lnkd.in/eAEqDk3s
