How Can LCA Be Integrated with Regulatory Frameworks?
Integrating LCA with regulatory frameworks can enhance the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing toxicological risks. By incorporating LCA findings into decision-making processes, regulators can prioritize actions based on a comprehensive understanding of potential impacts. This integration can also facilitate the development of product standards and labeling schemes that inform consumers about the environmental and health implications of their choices. Collaboration between scientists, industry, and regulators is essential to ensure that LCA methodologies are aligned with regulatory objectives and that they support the transition to a more sustainable and less toxic world.
