On 10 March 2026 in Brussels, Sirris will host an interactive masterclass in English dedicated to simplified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This is a unique opportunity to understand how to reduce the environmental impact of a product while strengthening its market value.
Masterclass: Sustainable Design Through Simplified LCA
Integrating circularityCircularity describes the quantity of materials managed in a closed loop. from the earliest design phase is no longer a “nice to have” but a real strategic lever for manufacturing companies. In the early phases of development, choices regarding materials, processes or design strongly influence a product’s environmental impact.
A simplified LCA provides an effective way to assess this impact without waiting until the end of the development process. This workshop will help you to:
- quickly analyse the environmental impact of your products
- identify the key levers for improvement
- guide your design decisions towards genuinely sustainable options
- use LCA as a driver for innovation and circularity
Objectives of the Masterclass
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- carry out an environmental estimation using a simplified LCA
- use these results to guide your choices from the very first design sketches
- manage missing data and formulate robust assumptions
- apply the open-source Ecocost method (TU Delft) to your products
- leverage LCA as a strategic tool for innovation and circular design
A Practice-Oriented Workshop with Immediate Impact
This masterclass offers a concrete, interactive approach that can be applied directly within your company. You will leave with practical tools, a better understanding of the impacts of your products and solid pathways to accelerate their circularity.
