The Circular Footprint Formula (CFF) is an emerging tool, promulgated by the European Commission, that offers useful circularity-oriented insights into materials, energy, and disposal considerations, including factors like avoided production of new materials and downstream recycling and energy recovery. It also provides important compliance information that will be increasingly necessary for products being sold into European markets. “We’re seeing growing interest in CFF from a number of different types of clients; perhaps the greatest interest at this point is in the packaging industry, where paper and cardboard, metals, and plastics are so central,” explains Amalia Sojo, EarthShift Global’s director of analytical services, who has conducted a number of CFF training sessions.

Despite often negative perceptions, the industrial chemicals and plastics industries have strong safety and environmental records. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Sustainability Return on Investment (S-ROI) can help researchers understand the industry’s environmental impacts and economic benefits. EarthShift Global works with chemical companies to provide LCAs and S-ROI, uncovering insights on remediation, recycled resins, bio-based feedstocks, and more. https://lnkd.in/eTVS2YRb

Healthcare is responsible for nearly 5% of global GHG emissions and 10% of material consumption. This webinar will explore how clinicians use life cycle assessments, current controversies, and future directions in this critical sector. Join our free webinar, "Healthcare LCAs: Data, Action, Controversies, and Direction," on Thursday, July 18, from 1pm-2pm ET. Presented by Cassandra Thiel, Assistant Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Tandon School of Engineering, this event is not to be missed! Register: https://lnkd.in/eH3FYr9W

Join our free webinar on Thursday, July 18 (1pm-2pm ET) — "Healthcare LCAs: Data, Action, Controversies, and Direction"! Healthcare globally emits nearly 5% of GHGs annually and consumes 10% of extracted materials. This critical sector is really starting to embrace Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and climate action. Our brown bag lecture will focus on how clinicians are currently utilizing LCA studies and data, where controversies have emerged in this space, and future directions for LCA inspired by the needs of the healthcare sector. This webinar will be presented by Cassandra Thiel, Assistant Professor in the NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Departments of Population Health and Ophthalmology and the NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s Department of Civil and Urban Engineering.

EarthShift Global recently partnered with HP on the completion of a #LifeCycleAssessment (LCA) comparing HP's Indigo print process to conventional offset printing. The findings are shared in a white paper based on a peer-reviewed full LCA report completed in December 2023, and aims to highlight the environmental sustainability facts as well as differences between analog printing technology and HP Indigo digital print production. According to HP, "HP Indigo is one of the world’s leading digital printing solution providers for the graphic arts industry. Founded in 1977, the company develops advanced technology to drive digital print growth which enables Print Service Providers (PSPs) and brands to become market leaders. Our high-tech digital presses are designed to meet today’s and tomorrow’s needs for printing sustainably, personably, securely, and immediately. HP Indigo creates lasting value by integrating sustainable solutions into the entire value chain, from sourcing materials to the printed product to recycling, using digital attributes to propel a more sustainable future." This was the second white paper HP developed with EarthShift Global related to HP's Indigo print process. To access these and other white papers, click: https://lnkd.in/dsxhzz5X
