Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD): Benefits and challenges LCA and EPD are two acronyms that are getting increasing attention and use. While it’s straightforward to understand what these tools mean in the broad sense, it’s not as straightforward to understand how these tools work and how to use them. In this i2live webinar, Christine Burow, President of Christine Burow Consulting, will provide a practical guide to understanding and using LCAs and EPDs with several examples of how they are driving change in the lumber, paper, and packaging supply chains. This webcast presentation will be useful to people interpreting or commissioning LCAs and EPDs. Thursday, April 26, 2012 Christine Burow worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Forest Products Association of Canada on “Life Cycle Assessment and Forest Products: A White Paper”. During the webinar, she will walk participants through the steps needed to commission an LCA analysis or to interpret an LCA report. Ms. Burow will discuss the four fundamental steps of setting up a LCA: goal and scope definition; inventory analysis; impact assessment and interpretation. Attendees at the webinar can expect to come away with a clear understanding of some of the primary reasons for conducting an LCA, which include driving performance improvement, effective marketing communications, meeting stakeholders’ expectations, complying with and anticipating legislative requirements and understanding the limitations of LCA.
