Have you ever wondered if there is an accurate way to determine your organisation's carbon footprint?Life cycle analysis/assessment (LCA) is a methodology that assesses the environmental impacts across the different life cycle stages of a product or process. As a tool, it is becoming commonplace across industries as the drive to improve sustainability and achieve carbon neutrality comes to the fore. <h2>What we’ll cover</h2>Here we provide a taster of our life cycle analysis course, including an in-depth overview of the tool, how it can and should be used, also exploring available software options and a case study to show the details of the tool step by step. <h2>Who should join this webinar?</h2>Anyone from a small to medium sized manufacturing businesses with or no knowledge of LCA.

As manufacturers, we all know that we must embrace more sustainable practices to protect our planet and reach net-zero targets, but it can be difficult to know where to start.
