Participant feedback
“The course was very informative. The team are very knowledgeable in this space and I loved learning from them all. I found PIQET a great tool for rapid LCAs – it allows a level of flexibility whilst doing most of the research & literature survey for you.”
“I enjoyed the deep dive into LCAs (e.g., learning how detailed calculations can be made with transport efficiency) and understanding how PIQET works behind the scenes. I also liked doing the intro activity beforehand - it made session 1 feel familiar and approachable. Having the opportunity to ask direct questions relating to the homework and receiving personal help was also really valuable.”
“The Packaging LCA Training workshop helped me understand how LCA processes could support our business with design innovation, customer engagement, and product impact.”
