Anticipatory LCA to promote informed decision-making in bio-based product development

The european project BIORING aims to develop biobased building blocks for novel high-performance biocoatings with enhanced thermomechanical performance, providing a viable alternative to existing fossil-based ones. Their recycling and biodegradability are tested in view of end-of-life (EoL) real scenarios.

Life Cycle Assessment, a widespread and essential tool for product sustainability and Ecodesign, could be of great value in research and innovation on biobased materials and products. LCA helps in understanding environmental impacts and integrating their assessment with other impacts, such as costs, since the early stages of development and all along the life cycle.
However, the implementation of LCA in research and product development at low TRL (“anticipatory” LCA) is hindered by limited information and data gaps. Examples of data gaps include quality/purity of the raw material and final products, yields of the processes, risk and safety profiles of substances and by-products, energy demand at benchmark scale, etc.

Our workshop gathers experts in material science, safety and sustainability assessment, modelling and LCA from research projects on biobased materials to discuss and compare approaches and strategies to pursue effective and useful anticipatory LCA analysis.
It is an opportunity for knowledge exchange, helping to accelerate the development of sustainable bio-coatings for high performance industrial applications.
