Coordinated by \u201cGheorghe Asachi\u201d Technical University of Ia\u0219i (CO)<\/a>, WP6 places life cycle thinking at the centre of sustainability assessment across CERSUS. It combines eco-design, life cycle assessment and life cycle costing to guide early development and evaluate the materials, processes and waste valorisation solutions developed in other work packages. Process modelling, scale-up scenarios and risk assessment help identify environmental and economic trade-offs, while experimental toxicity data support improved impact assessment methods and informed decisions for circular bioeconomy implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP6 Objectives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

O.6.1. Identify the most appropriate eco-design principles and measures and ex-ante LCA in the earliest possible stages of product or process development to forecast types and values of potential environmental impacts; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O.6.2. Implement life cycle-based assessment instruments and methodologies to generate complex sustainability profiles of the innovative materials, products or processes developed for the implementation of circular bioeconomy; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O.6.3. Use other assessment instruments like LCC, water and carbon footprints, MCDA, process modelling, estimation, statistical &scenario analysis, to evaluate other relevant sustainability aspects; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O.6.4. Use specific (toxicity and other relevant) data generated in other WPs to calculate and update impact characterization factors and risk assessment methodologies for some of the novel compounds, materials and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP6 Tasks and Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WP6 is lead by the project coordinator<\/a>. Most of WP6 activities rely on lab-scale data generated in WP2<\/a><\/strong>, WP3<\/a>, WP4<\/a>, WP5<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.1. Eco-design principles and practices for prospective sustainability assessment of innovative materials for environmental applications<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.2. Prospective sustainability assessment of advanced and emerging processes for environmental applications<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.3. Prospective sustainability assessment of by-products and waste valorization practices<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.4. Sustainability assessment of innovative materials developed in WP2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.5. Sustainability performance assessment of advanced and emerging processes developed in WP3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.6. Sustainability performance assessment of by-products and wastes valorised in WP5<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 6.7. Risk assessment and updating LCIA methodologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
