ECO Platform Round Tables – 2024/25
We are pleased to announce the upcoming dates and topics for our ECO Platform Round Tables hosted by Dr. Jane Anderson.

The events are free of charge for all ECO Platform members; the ticket price for external participants is 69 EUR / event. Tickets can separately be booked via Tickettailor.

8 July 2024: Round Table #2 – Data Quality, Uncertainty and Variation in EPD

Provides an overview of different approaches to understanding and reporting data quality, uncertainty and variation in EPD, including those provided in EN 15941:2024, QMetadata, EC3, International EPD % of specific data and Jane’s PhD thesis. Would be an opportunity to learn about uncertainty and variation in EPD, and to obtain feedback for ECO Platform on the most appropriate approaches that could be used to report data quality and uncertainty in EPD.

10 October 2024: Round Table #3 – Tool Verification

Provides an overview of the proposed update of the ECO Platform Tool verification guidelines.  The Round Table will be used to explain the proposed approach and obtain feedback from Tool Providers, LCA Practitioners, Manufacturers, EPD Programmes and Verifiers, providing a useful introduction to the ECO Platform internal consultation on the proposed new approach.

9 January 2025: Round Table #4 – Biogenic Carbon

The modelling of biobased materials, including biobased packaging, and the reporting of GWP Biogenic is one of the aspects of EPD which causes the most issues of non-compliance in EPD verification. This Round Table will start with first principles, explaining how biogenic carbon should be modelled and reported in ECO Platform EPD, and the types of checks which can be used to ensure that the results are plausible and that EPD report biogenic carbon correctly. We will also explore ways of assessing and reporting the benefits of biogenic carbon storage at product and building level and discuss the new EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework.

Please note: the link to the Round Tables will be sent to registered participants shortly before the event.
