Study Notes
- Understanding the impacts of anthropogenic activities on climate change is crucial for transitioning to circular and sustainable models.
- Qualitative evaluation is important but not sufficient, and quantitative measurement is necessary for improvement.
- There are various evaluation methodologies available for transitioning to circularity, including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint Analysis (CFA).
- LCA and circular economy concepts have been around since the last century, with early studies on environmental impacts starting in the 1960s.
- In the 1970s, the notion that human activity was exerting excessive pressure on the environment gained relevance in the West.
- The interest in energy consumption increased in the 1970s due to the oil crisis, leading to a focus on energy dependence and savings.
- The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) was founded in 1979 and became a reference organization for LCA methodologies.
- In the 1990s, the term "Life Cycle Assessment" was adopted, and the methodology continued to develop with international participation and the establishment of norms and journals.
- LCA can be qualitative or quantitative and is a comprehensive evaluation methodology.
- Understanding the current state of things is essential for proposing new scenarios and transitioning to circularity.
