Rede ACV is proud to announce an institutional partnership with the ecoinvent association (www.ecoinvent.org). Through this partnership, the organizations will work together to promote life cycle thinking, especially through joint initiatives to improve the availability and interoperability of LCI data related to Brazil. Through the ongoing ‘Cornerstone’ project, Rede ACV is already working with ecoinvent to develop regionalized inventory data, representative for Brazil, to both the national LCA database SICV as well as the ecoinvent database. This is a great example for how this collaboration can benefit local users and the international LCA community alike.
