CALC Circularity Profile – with Cascades
Microsoft Office Excel tool being developed by the CALC Handbook Team
For use by profilers on behalf of local and regional Authorities or any stakeholder
Summarizes GHG impacts of a product, or a series of comparable products as they move through the Cascades
Allows spatial analysis of self-selected districts/areas. Requires feet on the ground.
Dependent on LCA summary data by product, which are hard to find without LCA database subscriptions and hours of painstaking work. No need to create new LCAs if data is made available or even reasonable proxies for common products with Transport, Distribution and Use variables.
One outstanding issue is that LCA’s are not always value neutral.
