Project 2015
Developing Readiness for Creation of Indian LCA Database/datasets
FICCI in collaboration with the UNEP had initiated a project on 'Development of the enabling conditions to create an Indian LCA Database'.
The objective of this project was to develop common understanding among key stakeholders on basic issues concerning the creation of Indian datasets and therefore, enhance the usability of LCA. Multiple consultations with key stakeholders were held to identify key issues and opportunities to facilitate exchange of views on how readiness for creating national LCA database/datasets may be developed.

Ecoinvent LCA Database collection project, 2016-17FICCI in association with ecoinvent center (https://www.ecoinvent.org/) and Quantis International (https://quantis-intl.com/) collected the life cycle inventory database for Indian textile and agriculture sectors. The database will be available shortly in the ecoinvent database. To know more please contact Ms. Archana Datta at archana.datta@ficci.com
Capacity building and networking events in India in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) , 2017-2018Under the framework of the Sustainable Recycling Industries (SRI) programme, the project was commissioned by ecoinvent and led by FICCI and Quantis to undertake designing and delivering capacity building and knowledge sharing events spread over 7 months across India in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
The overall objective of this project was to develop a coordinated collaboration and exchange of knowledge for design and delivery of a series of capacity building and knowledge sharing events on LCA targeted at Indian stakeholders between August 2017 and May 2018.
Project 2018
UNEP Hotspot Project (Ongoing), 2018
FICCI in association with UN Environment are working on project with an objective of Mapping the textile value chain, identifying key hotspots at global level and assessing trade barriers & opportunities. The desired final outcome is to develop a report identifying key hotspots and intervention points, as well as trade barriers and opportunities, to enable sustainable textile value chains. The findings will guide action and decision making towards enhanced circularity and sustainability in textile value chains.
