How did we get here? Earlier this year in May, the beta version of GLAM was introduced at the SETAC Symposium in Seville. Following this, in July, two workshops were held to finalize recommendations, and updated characterization factors were shared with select industries. This latest version for feedback reflects the workshops' outcomes.

The final version is planned to be launched at the SETAC LCA Symposium in October 2024.
