The Swedish Life Cycle Center is an initiative by the Swedish Energy Agency, hosted by Chalmers University of Technology, which strengthens collaboration and encourages more organisations to apply a life cyle perspective in Sweden.

It focuses on life cycle thinking about products. This means considering not just what happens during its production or use, but also how the raw materials were made and what happens after the user no longer wants it.

The centre, designed for academia, industry, research institutes and government agencies, has been active for 20+ years. It runs projects, including a Circularity and life cycle assessment working group, and has a library of publications. 

The centre also runs a two-day course in Applied Life Cycle Thinking.
