Under the motto "Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Product and Material Cycles", the Department of Resource Management and Waste Technology at the University of Kassel is organizing the 21st Life Cycle Assessment Workshop.
In 2026, the event is once again aimed at young scientists conducting research in the field of life cycle assessment (LCA) or applying LCA in practice. This year's focus is on current issues relating to the establishment of sustainable product and material cycles - from alternative raw materials and innovative materials, sustainable product life cycles and end-of-life strategies to the quantification and evaluation of circularity and closed-loop concepts. In order to identify viable sustainable solutions, sound evaluation methods, reliable data and practical case studies are required. We would like to exchange ideas on these topics in a constructive atmosphere and be inspired by keynote speeches. You can find an impression of previous events here.
We look forward to contributions from young scientists on this topic as well as from other LCA-relevant research fields. To participate with a presentation or poster contribution, interested parties can submit an abstract by June 15, 2026. Contributions can be written in German or English; the conference language is German. The participation fee is 150 €.
