D6.6 – Social Life Cycle Assessment

The aim of this work is to combine value chain analysis with the UNEP/SETAC methodology for Social Life Cycle Analysis (S-LCA) and the Hotspot Analysis Tool for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and perform a social and socio-economic LCA for a set of biobased value chains selected within the Magic project. The research presented in this paper is grouped in two parts:
• Part A investigates the social implications from specific biobased value chains which use as feedstock crops grown in marginal land, and
• Part B uses the consistent datasets from the Hotspot Analysis Tool for Sustainable Consumption and Production and identifies social opportunities at national level for EU27 & UK.
