Life Cycle Thinking - The dawn or dusk of a more sustainable world?
15 May 2012
Life cycle thinking is now enshrined in European law but what does it mean for your business? And how can you use it to benefit your business while making it more sustainable? To help answer these questions, we have brought together some of the best speakers and the greatest knowledge on this topic.
It could be the path to a bigger market share for those who embrace it fully - hear what it means from those who have.
From managing waste through managing resources to managing products and managing corporate footprint – what does lifecycle thinking mean; is it practical and how would you go about it?
We have brought together some of the best speakers and the greatest knowledge on the topic.
This not-for-profit conference is a must for any environmental business leader.
The conference will cover how life cycle thinking can be, and has been, used in:
- Managing waste more sustainably:
- Preventing waste;
- Conserving resources;
- Producing products that have lower impacts; and
- Making companies more sustainable.
