The International Conference and Exhibition
on LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT: Tools for Sustainability
National Risk Management Research Laboratory
National Center for Environmental Research and Quality Assurance
with
Institute for Environmental Research & Education
Environmental Quality Management Institute
Arlington, Virginia (Washington DC Metro Area)
LCA is being developed and applied internationally by corporations, governments, and environmental groups to incorporate environmental concerns into the decision-making process. It is being widely adopted as a means to evaluate commercial systems and develop sustainable solutions.
LCA identifies the impacts of products and services over all life cycle stages and media, enabling informed decision-making. LCA can identify and verify environmental benefits that will lead to sustainable practices.
Presentations and discussions during InLCA will focus on approaches that integrate environmental, economic, and social values for decision-making, with emphasis on LCA applications and case studies. The conference will bring together practitioners and decision-makers. Speakers will discuss how LCA can be used to:
create marketing advantages;
improve environmental decision-making;
save organizations money;
organize environmental management systems;
measure environmental performance and progress towards sustainability;
communicate within and outside of organizations.
Who Should Attend << PREV. | TOP | NEXT >>
The audience for the conference is anticipated to be broad and will include representatives of LCA research and development as well as users of life cycle concepts from industry, government, private consultants, academia, and environmental groups.
Exhibits << PREV. | TOP | NEXT >>
An exhibition hall will be part of the conference allowing LCA developers and practitioners to meet potential clients, and industrial, government and policy experts to meet and compare different LCA practitioners and other environmental services providers. The exhibition hall will consist of table top displays (4' X 6').
