Register for this session at the top of this page next to "I'm interested." We will serve pizza for in-person attendees, but ask that you bring your own water bottle. Please note, space to attend this presentation in-person is limited to 40 people and registration is required to attend. A virtual option is also available to participate in this session. 

As we transition to a circular economy we need tools to help us make the right decisions about how to manage materials. Life cycle assessments can be a valuable tool to evaluate the trade-offs between options and help make better decisions about how to manage materials. The Environmental Research & Education Foundation used life cycle assessment to look at curbside recycling and evaluate if it always makes sense to recycle.

If you would like to request an ASL interpreter or other accommodation to attend this session, please contact Mackenzie Kucharsky at kucharsky@ohio.edu.
