“A National Initiative To Develop the Lifecycle Inventory Database
For The Development of Eco-Friendly Products and Services” |
| |
| |
The National LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Project is a mandate from the Government of Malaysia under the Ninth Malaysia Plan to develop the National Life Cycle Inventory Database. The Database will be used to conduct life cycle assessment studies, support the National Ecolabelling Programme and fulfil the requirements of foreign legislation that demand evidence on the control measures taken to reduce environmental impact of products and services throughout their life cycle. |
| |
| The specific objectives of the National LCA Project are: |
| |
| i. |
To develop the national life cycle inventory database |
| ii. |
To develop a critical mass of local LCA practitioners |
| iii. |
To develop ecolabelling criteria documents for the National Ecolabelling Programme |
| iv. |
To create awareness among industry and consumer groups on the importance of LCA in today’s manufacturing and procurement practice. |
|
| |
In this respect, SIRIM as the implementing agency mandated by the Government and the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, specifically the Environmental Conservation and Management Division as the executive agency will work together to ensure delivery of the project outputs by the end of the Ninth Malaysia Plan. |
