Advancing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in Latin America

Over 90 representatives from across Latin America came together to look at how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) could be rolled out through the steel industry in the region.  LCA provides a method of assessing the environmental impacts of a product or material across the whole supply chain, from raw material extraction to end of life recycling or disposal. On 23^rd October the World Steel Association (worldsteel) in partnership with Ternium and Alacero, the Latin American Steel Association, held a seminar on “The Life Cycle Assessment of steel and its impact on the value chain” in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This is the 2^nd LCA and Steel Seminar of worldsteel’s ongoing global LCA seminar series after the 1^st seminar in Beijing in July this year.To read the full press release, click here.
