In all PCR development steps, we not only depend on individuals and organisations that have LCA and project management expert skills, we also highly depend on market/industry experts. The PCR moderators warmly invite you to share your expertise when creating and shaping our future PCRs.
To get involved, please contact the Secretariat for guidance.
The PCR open consultation is an important phase of the PCR development where we collect comments and feedback from stakeholders to ensure an open, transparent, and participatory process.
To contribute your expertise, the PCR consultation involves the following steps:
1. Review the PCR draft
2. Provide your comments for the PCR draft by using the PCR comment template
(Download the PCR comment template)
3. Submit your comments to the PCR moderator during the open consultation period
The following PCR drafts are currently open for public feedback:
Open consultation period: 2024-10-03 to 2024-11-28
Kindly send your comments to both of the following:
The Secretariat of EPD International
PCR Moderator: Martin Erlandsson, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute
Open consultation period: 2024-08-12 to 2024-10-11
PCR Moderator: Michela Gallo, CE.Si.S.P., University of Genoa
