The LCA Regulatory Science & Innovation Network (LCARSIN) connects different parties to improve harmonisation in the use of LCA and offer insights on how to use LCA results more effectively to inform policy decisions as the UK aims for net zero emissions.
LCA is a powerful tool for determining environmental impacts and can be used to assist the transition to a more sustainable future. However, without consistent methods and common usage across sectors, decision-makers do not have the reliable information they need to act with certainty. To be useful, LCA must provide transparent and robust information, thereby enabling business and policy makers to take the best action to reduce environmental impacts whilst avoiding unintended consequences.
The Henry Royce Institute at the University of Manchester, the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures at the University of Sheffield and the Safety and Environmental Assurance Centre (SEAC) in Unilever have been awarded funding by Innovate UK for the discovery phase of the new Network. The network will focus on the materials supply chain of the foundation industries, through to final product manufacturers.
LCARSIN brings together industrial leaders, academic experts, innovative small businesses, research and technology organisations, professional bodies, non-government organisations and policymakers in the UK. Through the network, we will generate a proposal to integrate LCA-based evidence and insights to support government in developing policy to manage emissions environmental impacts, in areas such as net zero and trade in sustainable products.
