Life Cycle Assessment and Product Disclosure with Dr Neil Kirkpatrick

 
How much do you really know about the products that you specify or use? Is there a simple way to understand and make informed choices about the right products for different projects, clients, specifiers and the environment?

At this workshop-style 'Leading Green Thinkers' event Dr Neil Kirkpatrick from ERM  will help you answer these questions, and engage you in critical thinking about:
  • The way that you select products and materials
  • The things you should consider when making product selections
  • The critical elements that go into the products that you use
  • How you can translate this complex information into consumer-friendly language to inform your clients.

The workshop will explore real examples from our industry, such as the way LCA has empowered event sponsors Interface to modify their products to be more sustainable, and identify areas for product improvement.
