SME's - have you used, or have you considered using OneClickLCA tools to produce EPDs? If so, MSc student Varshini has a very short survey for her research looking to assess the software's influence on the EPD process.

Can’t wait for the discussions about how to allocate the impact of the waste heat between EAF steel and “electric cement”. And as a note of caution, global cement manufacture is 7 times global EAF steel production, so this wont solve the cement problem. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxee…

Lots for me to talk about at this webinar where I’ll be covering recent built environment LCA initiatives in the UK.
How will processes like retrofitting and life cycle assessment help us reach net zero? Join us on Wednesday 29 November for a webinar exploring energy saving in the built environment, with Steve Fernandez @Arup and Jane Anderson @constructionlca
