    Sustainability SMARTS – lunch time talk – Number 10 (AfPA LCA Calculator) will provide you with an update and refresher of the AfPA Life Cycle Assessment Calculator.

    We introduced the AfPA LCA Calculator in our Sustainability SMARTS of September 2021. Since then, the Calculator has been adopted by a growing audience within our industry. For those who missed last year’s session, as well as those who need a refresher, this is a great opportunity to see how the Calculator works. For those who have started working with the Calculator this is an opportunity to ask in-depth questions and see how others are using the tool.

    We will also provide you with an update of the (minor) changes that have been implemented so far, plus show you what we have in store for the next update.

    Attend our Sustainability Smarts Session #10 to find out more!
