Int J LCA: European LCA Subject Editor
Dr. David W. Pennington is responsible for the Environmental Assessment of Waste and the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (ENSURE) in the European Commission’s Directorate General Joint Research centre (JRC), based in Ispra, Italy.
ENSURE complements conventional methods for waste and resource management with the development of recommended approaches, indicators, reference data, and case studies that facilitate life cycle thinking in European business and public administrations.
The ENSURE team, consisting of about 15 staff, provides independent policy support through computer simulations, modelling, expert workshops, and state-of-the-art laboratories.
The responsibilities include the implementation of the European Platform on LCA, which is developing the Reference European Life Cycle Data System (ELCD) and associated Technical Guidance Documents.
The team has successfully conducted a series of international workshops and carried out pilot studies with Member States in relation to Life Cycle Thinking and Waste Management. Activities now include the development of European Life-Cycle Guidelines for Waste Management, and the broader development of Life Cycle-based Sustainability Indicators. | | Areas of interest: | | multimedia chemical fate | | life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) | | LCA and waste management | | LCA and policy | | human toxicological effects | | fate and exposure | | exposure and toxicological models | | environmental comparison indicators | | ecological toxicological effects | | chemical risk assessment | | |
