Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) used to compare two different methods of ripe table olive processing

Food Polymeric Packaging Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

  Food packaging is used to maintain the safety and quality of food during distribution and storage and to protect them from adverse internal and external conditions, such as water vapor, spoilage due to microorganisms, moisture, light, and dust. In this regard, lots of research studies have been done to increase shelf life, safety, and quality to create suitable physico...

Use of life cycle assessment (LCA) to compare the environmental impacts of aquaculture and agri-food products

This paper aims to explore the potential as well as limitations of using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for comparing environmental impacts associated with aquaculture and other agri-food products. LCA has been used to assess environmental impacts, to identify environmentally-friendlier farming systems, to support environmental improvement, to designate benchmarking, and to develop eco-labelling c...

Life Cycle Assessment (lca) of Nanomaterials: a Comprehensive Approach

LCA is a suitable method to assess the environmental performance of nanotechnology-based products, although challenges remain due to uncertainties and data gaps. LEITAT participates in different European projects, such as NANOMICEX, NANOPOLYTOX, NEXTEC, EUROTAPES and NANOSOLUTIONS, which contribute in filling in these gaps. Selected representative nanotechnology-based products were modelled, in...

Sustainability Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Of Household Food Waste Management in Urban Areas

Background: Food waste is a very serious problem, it is proven that Indonesia is the second largest producer of food waste in the world. A limited waste management system will result in a decrease in environmental quality such as air pollution, water pollution, and soil pollution. So far, the waste management system is only limited to reducing waste generation. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a ...
