As the electronics industry grapples with increasing demands for transparent environmental data, Claigan Environmental is set to host a comprehensive webinar focused on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), and Product Category Rules (PCR) on March 18, 2026. This technical masterclass aims to equip environmental engineers, sustainability officers, and product compliance managers with an in-depth understanding of these critical concepts.
Webinar Details and Registration Information
The webinar, titled "Beyond the Greenwash: A Technical Masterclass on LCA, EPD & PCR for Electronics," will be held on March 18, with two sessions scheduled at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Each session will last for one hour, including a Q&A segment to address participants' specific inquiries. Given the anticipated interest, Claigan is offering two identical webinars to accommodate a larger audience.

Claigan encourages early registration due to high demand, especially as the industry shifts towards greater sustainability accountability.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges in Electronics
With increasing regulatory scrutiny, the electronics sector must adapt to new demands for sustainability. By 2028, all products sold to the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK will require specific carbon footprinting via the LCA process. This requirement underscores the importance of understanding LCA and EPD methodologies to remain competitive in the market.
Claigan's webinar will delve into the distinctions between LCA and EPD, clarifying how these assessments are interconnected through PCR. Participants will learn about the various stages required to create LCA information for different electronic components and how to effectively answer essential questions to complete an LCA. This technical knowledge is crucial for those looking to demonstrate year-over-year improvements and secure a foothold in environmentally-conscious purchasing tenders.
Addressing Industry Demand for Technical Expertise
Professionals in the electronics industry have expressed a growing frustration with the superficial sustainability overviews that often dominate discussions. According to Claigan, there's a clear demand for more rigorous, data-driven analysis that can meet the complexities of modern regulatory frameworks. This sentiment has prompted the creation of a webinar designed to fill the knowledge gap.
"We've found that our clients aren't satisfied with just high-level information; they need the hard math that comes with detailed assessments," said a Claigan representative. The upcoming session promises to address these needs by providing granular insights into how LCAs can add value to tenders and how they are increasingly required in the industry.
