Social and socio-economic assessment

Overall Goal: assess the socio-economic dimensions of bio-based products, through

the Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) methodology, in order to make the assessment comparable with the analysis carried out by the WPs involved with Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (E-LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC)

Four Main Steps:

▪ selecting socio-economic items relevant to bio-based products (impact categories, subcategories and related indicators) in relation to different stakeholder categories ▪ developing a tailored S-LCA scheme to measure the most significant socio-economic impact of bio-based products ▪ testing our S-LCA scheme on a case-study ▪ identifying key socio-economic priorities for sustainable bio-based products end-of-life management

4th Step Activities

▪ Deepening the analysis of the validated subcategories and indicators pertaining to the end-of-life (EoL) stage ▪ Developing an asset-based model focused on EoL treatment of bio-based products, involving different stakeholder categories (i.e. academics, trade associations, policy makers and waste management companies) from geographically and culturally distant European regions (e.g. Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain and Sweden) ▪ Testing the model on PLA packaging film

SLIDE 12
