Potentials for emission reduction and value creation in the rehabilitation of existing building stock using macroeconomic analysis

Session WE.2.A || Life Cycle Sustainability in Construction and Renovation of Buildings II Authors Perez-Valdes, Gerardo A.; Fufa, Selamawit; Fjellheim, Kristin Abstract Given that most of the world's building stock for the next 30 years already exists today, renovation of existing buildings and infrastructure represent an important pathway towards a more sustainable future. There is [...]

Identification of dissipative emissions for improved assessment of metal resource use in LCA

Session MO.1.A || Life Cycle Approaches in the Raw Materials Sector Authors Owsianiak, Mikolaj; Hauschild, Michael Abstract Environmental dissipation is a novel approach to account for impacts from mineral resource use. In contrast to all other resource-related life cycle impact assessment methods, which use data on extractions as input to calculation of indicator scores, environmental [...]

Spatial configurations of urban waste management systems considering local uses of recovered products

Session TU.2.B || Future Sustainable Lifestyles – Urban Structure Authors Tanguy, Audrey; Laforest, Valérie; Glaus, Mathias Abstract The transition to a circular economy in Western countries calls for a return to fine-scale management of urban flows. While our current linear economy relies on centralized and mostly external urban metabolisms, a higher degree of circularity implies [...]

Rating, Credit Decision and Pricing – How Sustainability and Life Cycle Assessments are Changing Credit Practice

Session MO.3.E || Life Cycle Metrics in Sustainable Finance and Business Authors Ender, Manuela; Ilg, Robert; Albrecht, Stefan; Fischer, Matthias; Wimmer, Konrad Abstract If climate protection measures are inadequate, the economic consequences could soon exceed the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic. To prevent this, ecological and economic factors must be intelligently linked: this is [...]

Plastic leakage of packaging in LCA – a theoretical framework

Session MO.3.D || Addressing Marine Litter Within Life Cycle Assessment and Management Authors Scagnetti, Carla; Lorenz, Manuel Abstract The proposed theoretical framework explores how packaging could be assessed from gate-to-grave including the probability to become litter. A growing number of studies have confirmed the omnipresence of plastic pollution. Likewise, it has been revealed that marine [...]
