Through the link of existing software (HSC Chemistry, Granta Selector and openLCA), TripleLink will allow improvements to product-oriented assessment and the circularity of products. It will also provide the possibility to calculate resource indicators describing criticality from a resource-economic perspective and from a conflict perspective, with simple application and clear interpretation.

The overarching goal was to evaluate the potential for aquaponics to be a responsible and sustainable solution to maintaining Canadian food security. Specifically, this thesis aimed to identify environmental and economic barriers faced by small-scale Canadian aquaponics systems and provide options for reducing barriers and environmental impacts through the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) analysis.

Critical review of existing methods for assessing impacts of mineral resource use in life cycle assessment (LCA); recommendations for application-dependent use of these methods and for future methodological development
Life cycle assessment of biobased materials and chemicals
Healthcare is a critical service sector with a sizable environmental “footprint”. Our research applies industrial ecology approaches to examine this area more systematically.
Projected global peak population and growing affluence are rapidly increasing pressure on agricultural production and undermining the ability of critical regional- and global-scale life support systems to sustain humanity. To ensure nutritional security and biophysical sustainability, we need to understand dietary patterns, their impacts and what can be done to shape them.
