The lecture was hosted by Professor Liu Yun. Teachers in the related fields and graduate students from the Evaluation and Innovation Management Center attended the meeting.
Dr. Fullana first introduced the concept of life-cycle assessment and its related role for environmental improvement, then pointed out four product evaluation tools from life cycle perspectives: eco-design, eco-labeling, environmental product declarations and carbon footprint. Finally, Dr.Fullana highlighted, faced with the challenge of global climate change, product life cycle carbon footprint evaluation management will be widely used.
