Institutional partnership

The organizations will work together to promote life cycle thinking, especially through initiatives to improve the availability and interoperability of life cycle inventory data related to Brazil. Through the ongoing ‘Pedra Fundamental’ project, Rede ACV is already working with ecoinvent to develop regionalized inventory data representative of Brazil, both for the national SICV database and for the ecoinvent database. This is a great example of how this collaboration can benefit both local users and the international LCA community.
