Companies and networks showcase
LCARSIN in its discovery phase brought together practitioners, regulators and data users to collaborate on the development of the network. We are about to move into the implementation phase which will: • Perform collaborative research in working groups to address specific targets identified during the discovery phase. • Encourage the sharing and development of best practice through network events and special interest groups, and enable dissemination of sectoral guidance. We have a substantial number of registered members including stakeholders from the materials supply chain and relevant policy makers who will take part in working groups and special interest groups. For more information, please see our newsletter LCARSIN Network Newsletter (mailchi.mp). To register your interest to get involved visit: https://forms.office.com/e/TCkE1X9mvh
About the network Researchers from the Universities of Sheffield and Manchester with Unilever have launched a new network that will assist the UK’s materials supply chain and policymakers in using life cycle assessment (LCA) more effectively to drive reduction in environmental impacts. The LCA Regulatory Science & Innovation Network (LCARSIN) will connect different parties to improve harmonisation in the use of LCA and offer insights on how to use LCA results to inform evidence based policy decisions as the UK aims for net zero emissions. LCARSIN brings together industrial leaders, academic experts, RTOs, professional bodies, NGOs and policymakers in the UK. We will develop knowledge to integrate LCA-based evidence and insights to support government in developing policy to manage environmental impacts, in areas such as decarbonisation and trade in sustainable products, whilst avoiding unintended consequences.
