The EngS Group contributed to the National Life Cycle Inventory Database (SICV Brazil), managed by IBICT - Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology, with the publication of six datasets (freely accessible) related to various production chains:

​

Additive manufacturing (Access here)

Plastic injection molding process (Access here)

Processing of chicken meat (Access here)

Pine pellets (Access here)

Peanut shell pellets (Access here)

Energy cogeneration in cement industry (Access here)

Aluminum parts machining (Access here)

20MnCr5 steel alloy machining, milling process (Access here)

Melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin (Access here)

Urea-formaldehyde resin (Access here)

​

These datasets consist of Life Cycle Inventory data of production systems evaluated by the EngS Group and can be used for the development of Life Cycle Assessment studies.

This book, organized by Prof. Dr. Diogo A. Lopes Silva from Grupo EngS and other researchers, presents the role of Engineering and Life Cycle Management of products (goods, processes, and services) and its contributions to corporate environmental sustainability the circular economy.
It addresses vital techniques, tools, systems, and practices to improve the environmental performance of products and services throughout their lifecycles. It presents the themes in 13 chapters through basic and in-depth theories. In addition, all chapters provide examples of real and hypothetical case studies for discussion and assimilation of theoretical content and its contextualization in the realistic and practical business scenario. Quantitative exercises complement the chapters.

This worksheet results from the CNPq project 371437/2020-2. It is a checklist to assess the quality of a manufacturing dataset based on the application of the ServQual scale, based on the differences between expectations (from data providers) and perceptions (from external reviewers). It can also access this worksheet in the publication made to Revista LALCA.

This worksheet results from the CNPq project 406017/2018-2. It is a checklist for critical analysis of compliance with the Qualidata Guide requirements in LCA datasets. It facilitates the filling and identification of requirements that were met or not by the dataset. In addition, this worksheet allows comments to be made regarding why a requirement is not met and descriptions arising from their fulfillment. Click the button to download.

The course includes a series of video lessons and materials in .pdf for access and download and assessments between each of its 04 modules (Introduction, Public Policies, Business, Sustainable Lifestyles), with issuing a certificate. The mini-course is online and free, was conceived by The Life Cycle Initiative, and is even available in Portuguese. The course was translated in 2020 into our language under the coordination and participation of members of EngS - Engenharia da Sustentabilidade and other colleagues.

It is a children's educational game that addresses the recycling of electronic waste (WEEE), according to PROEX process 23112.015953/2020-62. Compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Edge browsers. I can use it in the classroom for Elementary School I students.

It is a guide for applying sustainable practices in the teaching laboratories of educational institutions. Such practices seek to reduce the consumption of materials and energy to balance the activities carried out in the laboratory and the environment (PROEX Project 23112.015951/2020-73).

This book chapter shows a case related to the study of thermal properties of composites containing biodegradable polymer and materials from renewable sources, such as jute and cotton fibers, molded by the hot compression method.
