We are excited to announce a strategic collaboration between LCA4BIO and the ESCIB project, two pioneering initiatives dedicated to advancing the sustainability of the bio-based economy in Europe
LCA4BIO: Pioneering Sustainability Methodologies
LCA4BIO is committed to developing and validating new, enhanced, standardized, and precise methodologies for assessing environmental impacts and circularity within bio-based systems. Our focus is on creating tools that support the green transition of European industries by enabling them to evaluate the sustainability performance of bio-based products. Our methodologies incorporate prospective life cycle assessment approaches, taking into account upscaling and future scenarios with manageable levels of uncertainty using Integrated Assessment Models.
CALIMERO: A Comprehensive Framework for Bio-based Industries
CALIMERO aims to establish a unified framework to foster the evolution of bio-based industries in terms of sustainability, utilizing Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) indicators alongside those uniquely developed by CALIMERO. The project brings together bio-based industries from five key sectors – construction, woodworking, textile, pulp & paper, and biochemicals – offering a comprehensive perspective on the sustainability needs of these industries. By working together, these sectors aim to reduce environmental impacts by identifying major pollution sources and exploring potential solutions that take into account not only environmental but also economic and social dimensions. This integrated approach will help create more sustainable industries, enabling Europe to become a greener and more resilient continent.
A Unified Effort for a Sustainable Future
The collaboration between LCA4BIO and CALIMERO represents a major step forward in enhancing and standardizing sustainability methodologies across various bio-based industries. By combining the strengths of both projects, we aim to create practical tools that will support the green transition of European industries. Our joint efforts are aligned with the sustainability objectives outlined in the European Green Deal, contributing to a more resilient and environmentally conscious Europe.
With the involvement of multiple industrial sectors and innovative approaches, we are confident that this partnership will pave the way for a more sustainable and circular bio-based economy, benefiting not only the environment but also consumers and society at large.
