The mini conference was intended for all those interested in the use of LCA methodologies in the circular economy and learning how LCA can help in making decisions about the use of new products compared to competing products, and in identifying key stages where changes could reduce environmental impacts. We also focused on the integration of LCA methodologies in green public procurement and raising public authorities' awareness of the importance of using these methodologies.
