About LCA Community Event
At Enperas we founded the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Community in 2023 and now organise an annual on‑site LCA Community Event in Belgium for building‑materials and chemicals manufacturers from Belgium, Germany, France and across Europe.
Enperas’ LCA Community Event brings together senior representatives from European manufacturing companies to share their sustainability journeys, with a focus on LCA, environmental data and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and on current and upcoming EU environmental regulations — including related challenges and opportunities.
The Belgian LCA Community Event features around six speakers and up to 40 participants. Enperas’s objective is to foster a high‑quality community: each speaker and participant has time and space to ask questions, receive holistic answers, map ideas and present case studies.
Enperas’ customers from the building materials and chemicals industries present LCA and EPD case studies, share their experiences using Enperas’ LCA Quadrant Tool (LCA software), discuss opportunities revealed by LCA results, and explain how they meet current EU regulations and prepare for future ones.

LCA Community Event allows us to see the possibilities
“In a continuously evolving landscape regarding sustainability, it was insightful and inspiring to attend an event like this. Being prepared and making the right decisions at the right time is a challenge for companies. It is our role to be informed and to inform the different entities within our own organisation.
In this regard, the LCA Community event does support this goal. Many thanks to Enperas and the team for accomplishing this and to invite top speakers!”
