There’s only a few weeks left until the Hands-on Workshop to Evaluate the Sustainability and Carbon Footprint of Biomaterials, held May 14 – 16 at NC State University in Raleigh, NC.  This intro-level workshop - tailored for technical and non-technical individuals from the pulp and paper industry  - will give you a deeper understanding of environmental life cycle analysis (LCA) of plant-based fibers used for hygiene tissue, packaging, textiles, and nonwoven applications, and their impact on the environment.  

Through a hands-on approach, you will learn to use accepted methodologies and commercial software tools to conduct and complete a full-fledged environmental LCA. This interactive experience will also give you a firsthand look at the power of LCA and its ability to inform sustainable decisions. 

Benefits of Attending:

• Learn about LCA stages of products or services.
• Perform flow sheeting and develop a life cycle inventory.
• Learn how to conduct a life cycle assessment with commercial LCA software.
• Install the commercial LCA software on your personal computer to take with you.

Who Should Attend?

• Any engineers, manufacturing managers, or scientists interested in understanding how LCAs are conducted
• Marketing, sales, and service personnel who deal with questions of “green” products
• Environmental engineers and scientists
• Sustainability managers and product development managers
• Government agency, academia, and non-profit agency employees
