About this Event
Life Cycle Innovation in Life Sciences: Leveraging LCA for Advantage
Life sciences companies are under growing pressure to understand the environmental impacts of their products, supply chains, and operations. But moving from broad commitments to credible, actionable information can be challenging.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) provides a rigorous framework for understanding where impacts occur across a product’s life cycle and using that information to inform product development, operations, strategy, and environmental decision-making.
Join ACLCA for an interactive, in-person workshop designed specifically for the life sciences sector. Led by experts with experience applying LCA in healthcare, biopharma, and related industries, the workshop will combine practical instruction, real-world examples, discussion, and an interactive exercise focused on applying life cycle thinking within your own organization.
Whether your organization is exploring LCA for the first time or looking to expand how it uses life cycle information, this workshop offers an opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners, ask questions about the challenges your organization is facing, and connect with others working across the life sciences ecosystem.
No previous LCA experience is required.
What You'll Learn
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand how life cycle thinking and LCA can support product, sustainability, and business decisions in life sciences.
- Understand the fundamentals of an ISO-based LCA, including what the process involves, what data are needed, and what the results can tell you.
- Recognize the practical challenges organizations encounter when conducting and implementing LCA.
- Explore how LCA and life cycle information are being applied in real-world life sciences settings.
- Identify where your organization is today and what a realistic next step could be for building or expanding its LCA capabilities.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for professionals across biopharma, medical technology, diagnostics, laboratory products, healthcare, and related life sciences organizations, including those working in:
- Product development and R&D
- Sustainability and environmental strategy
