HILCSA supports up to around 80 detailed indicators, which are aggregated into easy-to-understand indices and figures, and is implemented in openLCA with data sources such as soca and #ecoinvent.

This makes HILCSA especially relevant for researchers, policymakers, industry, and civil society who need a way to compare products and technologies. For the field of #LCA and LCSA, this is an important step.

Für das Landesamt für Umweltschutz Sachsen-Anhalt (LAU) haben wir mit HILCSA drei Fallbeispiele (Baustoffe, chemische Industrie und Nahrungsmittel) gerechnet und analysiert: Nicht alles, was biobasiert ist, ist auch nachhaltig. Es braucht eine ganzheitliche Perspektive!

15 after Jeroen Guinée helped inspire the field with his 2011 "Life Cycle Assessment: Past, Present, and Future", HILCSA is the first robust and mature integrated LCSA method available. It goes beyond separate assessments of environmental, social, and economic aspects and brings them together.

Paludiculture offers a promising land-use pathway to cut GHG, restore biodiversity, and support sustainable development. Using the HILCSA method, socio-ecological interactions could be better understood. However, reliable primary I/O data is still too scarce to conduct LCAs.
