Nowadays we feel overwhelmed with an excessive amount of information about life cycle assessments of products, however not everyone knows how to interpret the data. By setting up the series of the webinars Petcore Europe would like to spread a clear message on what LCA is and also to share the knowledge about how to interpret the LCA studies in a right way.
