On the 18th of December, the Geology & Sustainable Mining Institute hosted Professor Cécile Bulle from the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM), and a senior researcher at the Center for Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainable Transition (CIRAIG), for a seminar on life cycle and sustainability assessment, within UM6P Campus in Benguerir.
The session explored methods for evaluating environmental impacts throughout the lifecycle of products and processes, from raw material extraction to end-of-life management. Professor Bulle presented research approaches developed at CIRAIG and discussed how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools can be used to assess environmental performance in mining-related activities.
The seminar included discussions on integrating sustainability indicators into mining research and practices, offering participants perspectives on responsible resource management.
