The CLiCC team presented a two-day workshop on Alternatives Analysis, hosted by the DTSC Safer Consumer Products Program of the California Department of Substance Control.
The workshop focused on the application of Life Cycle and Exposure Modeling concepts, including a brief demonstration of the CLiCC Tool's capabilities. It also discussed strategies and tools for addressing data gaps and uncertainties, and contextualized these problems using hands-on exercises. The workshop was capped at 30 in-person participants, and drew over 90 additional participants viewing the workshop online.
