Assessment of Life Cycle Management Maturity and Priorities in Latin American Companies

Authors Wiche, Pia; Granato, Danilo Abstract This study shows that sustainable management in companies is focused on end-of-life (EoL) management but is made without robust life cycle indicators. The data was obtained using a self-assessment based on (UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative, 2014) that evaluates the life cycle management (LCM) maturity of companies in four dimensions: [...]

Rapid environmental footprint calculation of animal production using the new tool “APS Footprint”

Authors Létinois, Ulla; Durlinger, Bart; Kok, Bjorn Abstract Animal production systems are essential in global food security. At the same time, they are an important source of environmental impacts such as global warming, land use (change), water use, eutrophication, and acidification. The impacts can significantly be mitigated through various system management changes, technical and feed [...]
