Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment Workshop
This interactive workshop will show participants how a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can shape smarter, more sustainable decisions. The workshops will be split into two parts:
Part 1: Foundations of Life Cycle Assessment
Highlights:
- Explore what LCA is and how it’s conducted, using the globally recognised ISO 14040/44 framework
- Understand the four key stages of LCA: goal & scope definition, Life Cycle Inventory (LCI), Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), and interpretation
- Learn how LCA is applied in sustainable product design, policy, and critical minerals
- Get insights into Australian regulations and standards, such as ASRS, EPDs, and GreenPower Certifications
- Examine real-world case studies from the Australian critical minerals sector
Part 2: Hands-on with XYCLE – Building your own LCA
What to Expect:
- Get an introduction to XYCLE, an intuitive platform that helps users model and analyse LCAs
- Follow along with a guided demonstration on how to build your first LCA model
- Roll up your sleeves for a practical session: you’ll build your own LCA model with live support from facilitators
- Learn how to interpret results using visualisations and reports, and experiment with scenario analysis to see how choices affect outcomes
Why Attend?
- Interactive and engaging delivery with quizzes, case studies, and hands-on modelling
- Learn from experienced LCA practitioners
- Apply your learning in real time using XYCLE
- Walk away with a solid foundation in LCA and practical experience in building and interpreting models
- Two-week free XYCLE trial is provided for attendees
