Sphera sustainability consulting group (formerly part of thinkstep) is a globally renowned LCA practitioner, working with Sphera proprietary software Sphera LCA FE (formerly GaBi Software) and Sphera MLC Databases (formerly GaBi Databases).
LCA of chemical recycling has received more and more attention in the past years, with multiple studies in that field having been conducted by Sphera. In 2021 the Sphera sustainability consulting group contributed to the methodological discussion with a whitepaper, to high-light the need for alignment on certain methodological aspects to ensure a harmonized approach to LCA of chemical recycling.
Recently, Sphera was chosen as a partner by Chemical Recycling Europe to work on furthering the harmonization effort.
The presentation will provide the audience with a quick setting the scene for LCA in general and then focus on the methodological aspects relevant for LCA of chemical recycling as highlighted in the Sphera whitepaper. The presentation will further highlight recent work Sphera has done in that field, including development of LCA data derived from academic research.
