WELCOME FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Participant,
We are delighted to welcome you to the 22nd SETAC Europe LCA Case Study
Symposium.
The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is a
not-for-profit, global professional organisation comprised of some 6,000
individual members and institutions from academia, business and
government. Since 1979, the Society has provided a forum where scientists, managers and
other professionals exchange information and ideas on the study, analysis and solution of
environmental problems, the management and regulation of natural resources, research and
development, and environmental education. SETAC’s founding principles are multidisciplinarity,
science-based objectivity and tripartite balance among academia, business and government.
SETAC has a strong interest in Life Cycle Assessment and sustainability. The fostering of the
LCA case study symposia over two decades, the many LCA and sustainability oriented sessions
at the SETAC Annual meetings, the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative and the recent Pellston
workshop on Life Cycle Impact Assessment held in Valencia, are good indicators of the rele-
vance of Life Cycle thinking for sustainable environmental quality and ecosystem integrity and
the involvement of SETAC members in the development of this field.
The theme of this year’s meeting is “Life Cycle Innovation for the Transition to a Sustainable
Society” and the scientific programme was designed to provide every opportunity to share and
learn about business practice, application experiences and challenges, as well as LCA’s increa-
sing role in governance, and the latest developments in methodology and teaching of LCA.
On behalf of SETAC I would like to thank the Steering Committee, chaired by Ralph Rosen-
baum for drawing up an exciting programme covering a wide range of topics in LCA. Also my
sincere acknowledgement to the co-organisers of this meeting, the Industrial Chair ELSA-PACT
hosted by IRSTEA, the French National Institute of Science and Technology for Environment
and Agriculture as well as the International Life Cycle Chair of the CIRAIG hosted by Polytech-
nique Montréal in Canada and to the other supporters of this meeting. Last but not least a big
thank you to all the presenters at this meeting. By sharing your results and views we can work
together on our mission «Environmental Quality Through Science®».
I wish you a fruitful and pleasant symposium. I hope that it will help you to establish new
networks or build on existing ones and find new alleys to implement LCA towards a sustainable
environment.
Bart Bosveld , Executive Director

WELCOME FROM THE MEETING CHAR AND CO-CHAIR
A cordial welcome to Montpellier!
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we welcome you to the gracefully Mediterranean city of
Montpellier for the 22nd SETAC Europe LCA Case Study Symposium, which promises to be one of this
year’s essential events for the LCA community, gathering experts, practitioners, scientists, and
policymakers from business, academia, government and NGOs. The SETAC Europe LCA Case Study
Symposia are a classic series of annual meetings focusing on LCA application and development that
were held since the early 1990s all over Europe. Following this tradition, the scientific programme of its
22nd edition was designed to provide plenty of opportunities to share and learn about business practice,
application experiences and challenges, LCA’s increasing role in governance and the latest
developments in methodology and teaching of LCA.
This conference with the overarching theme of “Life Cycle Innovation for the Transition to a Sustainable
Society” attracted over 170 abstracts from more than 20 countries on three continents, resulting in more
than 130 oral presentations and 40 posters scheduled in 17 sessions with three parallel tracks. We would
like to extend our gratitude to the members of the scientific committee for their availability to review
abstracts and dedication in supporting the development of the scientific programme of the symposium.
The sessions are covering subjects as diverse as emerging technologies, agriculture, buildings, water,
transport, energy supply and storage, recycling, PEF, ecodesign, resource management, LCA of large-
scale systems like cities or regions, life cycle management, policy evaluation, LCIA modelling,
uncertainty, teaching LCA, or social LCA and life cycle sustainability assessment. The conference
programme is complemented by two high-profile keynote speakers, Prof. Emer. Roland Clift from
University of Surrey, UK and Dr. David Pennington from the European Commission. Conference-events
include two evenings of social gathering and a water footprint workshop on ISO 14046 and the new
AWARE method recommended by UNEP-SETAC and the PEF / ILCD guidelines.
The symposium is co-organised by SETAC Europe and the two industrial chairs on LCA, the Industrial
Chair for Environmental and Social Sustainability Assessment (ELSA-PACT) hosted by the French
National Research Institute of Science and Technology for Environment and Agriculture – Irstea, and the
International Life Cycle Chair of the CIRAIG hosted by Polytechnique Montréal in Canada.
Intending to walk the talk, special attention was paid to organising this conference with environmental
and social sustainability principles in mind. To name a few examples: We chose a food supplier focusing
on local and seasonal ingredients with a strong social commitment concerning employees, dedicated
to limiting/avoiding food waste. The congress bags are reusable as apron and were produced by a local
workshop employing persons with disabilities. The plastic glass included with the conference bag is
reusable, avoiding disposable plastic cups during the event and thus reducing waste. Experts from
Quantis evaluated the environmental footprint of the conference in a dedicated study and will present
their results at the event.
On behalf of the organising committee we cordially welcome you to the 22nd SETAC Europe LCA Case
Study Symposium 2016. We hope that you will be inspired and stimulated by these three conference
days and the accompanying events, gaining new perspectives and ideas, meeting old friends and
building new collaborations triggering Life Cycle Innovation for the Transition to a Sustainable Society.
