Networking

Life Effige is carrying out networking activities with other Life projects. Click on the images to learn more about them:

The project LIFE TTGG – The Tough Get Going has in common with EFFIGE the goal of promoting sustainability in productive systems, also thanks to the use of Product Environmental Footprint (PEF), for LIFE TTGG with a specific focus on hard cheeses.

The collaboration will give the opportunity to partners of the two project to discuss on technical aspects related to the PEF methodology, in particular when applied to agrofood products, and to work together on dissemination activities in Italy and Europe.

LIFE: Force of the Future (FORTURE) is a project that began in October 2017, aimed at developing a sustainable manufacturing model for the production of ceramic tiles, with the support of the EU LIFE Programme.

 

LIFE: Force of the Future, aims to integrate environmental (Life Cycle Assessment), economic (Life Cycle Costing) and social (Social Life Cycle Assessment) impact assessment tools in order to determine sustainability parameters in an innovative and comprehensive way.

Thanks to this integration it will be possible to have at one’s disposal an eco-design model able to analyse and predict sustainability indices defining alternative design scenarios.

The LIFE MAGIS – MAde Green in Italy Scheme project supports the diffusion of the “Made Green in Italy” scheme, promoted by the Italian Ministry of the Environment to valorise Italian products with the best environmental performances. LIFE MAGIS develops Product Category Rules for many supply chains in the agrofood, window production and leather sectors which are verified and tested with pilot companies.

The project organises communication activities directed toward citizens and final consumers to experiment with the most effective ways to communicate the environmental value of products and has also the aim to promote the Made Green in Italy scheme to other supply chains, sectors and European countries. LIFE MAGIS makes available datasets and tools to make the adoption of the scheme easier for interested companies.

The main objectives of the PEFMED project are the reduction of environmental footprints and the implementation of green innovations along the whole
agrofood supply chain.

PEFMED foresees the development of the “PEFMED method” based on the application of the European “Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)”, combined with a set of socio- economic indicators in a specific territorial context.
The PEF method takes into account impacts of a product throughout its life cycle, from cultivation of raw materials, through processing, transport and use, to
disposal and recycling.

The Arcadia project, funded by the national programme PON Governance and Institutional Capacity 2014-2020, shares with LIFE EFFIGE the objective of disseminating the life cycle approach for assessing the environmental impacts of products and services, in particular among Italian Small and Medium Enterprises and Public Administration.
Arcadia envisages the creation of an Italian LCA (Life Cycle Assessment, the reference methodology also for Product Environmental Footprint) database, of which the LIFE EFFIGE database is a first core, including life cycle inventories of products and processes of the project partner supply chains.
