Product Sustainability (GaBi) End-of-Life Modeling Training

End-of-life allocation is one of the more complex and daunting tasks in the life cycle inventory phase in any life cycle assessment study. The recent push towards a circular economy and the associated solutions and business models has further highlighted the need for proper scenario analysis around different accounting approaches.
