Lessons and real-life examples from Modules 1, 2, and 3 of the Life-C project were presented to participants of the 7th PhD Summer School and Executive Training on Solid Waste Management, Circular Economy & Life Cycle Thinking.
Prof. Lidia Lombardi and Szymon Sobek introduced the audience to the concepts of Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), demonstrating how LCA can support the development of innovative and sustainable processes for resource recovery from waste.
Dr. Maria Kyriazi concluded the session with an overview of Life Cycle Costing (LCC) as a powerful tool to support decision-making in sustainable waste management systems.
Numerous real-life examples were shared with the participants to inspire them to apply these tools in their own work and research. The students were also encouraged to select a topic related to their field of expertise and apply LCA, Social LCA (SLCA), or LCC for their final exercise during the school.
A great opportunity to share knowledge, tools, and methodologies that support the transition towards a circular and sustainable future!
