Dieter Schreurs - Sustainability Expert at Pipelife International

“It’s very interesting to see how other companies are tackling the challenges with LCA’s & EPD’s. Many seem to face the same challenges: how to deal with a high amount of products, how to deal with LCA data up-& downstream, how to cope with the (lack of or abundance of) regulations. I had some great talks on how to tackle product groups for instance.

Also, it was interesting to compare experiences with the LCA Quadrant tool and how other companies use it.

It will be important that EPD programmes in the countries are aligned in order to avoid mass-EPD generation, which will confuse the markets and create high costs for new products. Inclusion of LCA and EPD into the purchase requirements would be a great next step to create incentive for society to invest in better, more eco-friendly products”

Ruben Snurawa - Quality & ESG Manager at Aliplast:

“I thought it was very meaningful, especially because we are at the beginning of a very important journey regarding LCAs and EPDs. Therefor an exchange of thoughts during an event as this, helps to put things into perspective but also helps to see the possibilities”

Ben Sieprath - Sustainability Officer at Vandersanden:

“I liked the event and it was very good to hear that many other people have the same issues and struggles concerning the grouping of products and the many different legislations in different countries. I would gladly join next year and I think this was a very good concept”

Abderrahim Oulhadj - Project Manager at Nivomix:

“The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging, fostering a comfortable environment where the group's genuine interest was evident, and the speakers delivered valuable insights.

The most compelling aspect from our perspective was gaining insight into the complexity of LCA challenges across various companies and sectors. Observing the hurdles and progress made by others provided valuable context for understanding our own position. Stepping outside our own framework to explore developments in other industries proved to be highly insightful.

Additionally, the dinner offered an excellent opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with the other participants in an enjoyable and informal setting”.

Luc Plancke - CEO and Founder of Enperas:

“We could finally meet our LCA peers” - Luc Plancke. We are happy that on December 5th, 2024, in Brussels, Belgium, we successfully hosted the first edition of our LCA Community Event for manufacturers alongside our customers. We are already in the process of planning next year’s on-site LCA Community Event for 2025, aimed at manufacturers in the building materials and chemicals sectors, as well as our broader customer base.

Identifying challenges, learning from each other's experiences, and adapting to regulatory changes are essential for achieving success in sustainability.

🔜 We are excited to plan the LCA Community Event for 2025 next year🎉
