Climate change, increasing legal requirements and growing pressure for greater transparency in supply chains are challenging companies – but also opening up new opportunities. With a well-founded Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) according to ISO 14040/44 Environmental impacts can be precisely quantified and optimization potential identified.

In order to provide a publicly available basis for discussion, the Transformation Hub Leitungssatz has a LCA study This analyses the environmental impacts of two exemplary cable sets in different impact categories and shows sensitivities of the results in relation to available data and raw materials used. 

The study is currently in the critical review process and will be published here on the site shortly.

To accompany the study, we offer a free training program, which imparts fundamental and practical knowledge.

Topics of the training:

• Practical insights based on a current LCA study on automotive wiring harnesses
• Communication of the most important impact categories: greenhouse gas potential, acidification, primary energy consumption and resource requirements
• Consideration of the entire value chain – from raw material extraction to recycling (cradle-to-cradle)
• Working with common LCA software (e.g. openLCA) and databases (e.g. ecoinvent)

• April 29, 2025 – Open Hybrid LabFactory, Wolfsburg
• June 03, 2025 – Bayern Innovativ, Nuremberg
• July 01, 2025 – ARENA2036, Stuttgart

The events will take place from 10: 00 15 to: 00 pm Food will be provided.
