Recently, Brazil became the biggest soybean producer and exporter in world. The state of Pará, located Brazilian amazon biome, one last agricultural frontiers country, which positively increased cultivation along it is territory. However, necessary to know associated environmental impacts supply chain. Thus, we are applying life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology using openLCA software two prod...

Solid waste is one of the unavoidable products of every society that necessitates the establishment of municipal solid waste management system. Because of variability in quantity and composition of municipal solid wastes, several management scenarios are considered. Assessing the environmental impacts of the life cycle of these scenarios will have a significant role in reducing and resolving ur...

Abstract Purpose This article aims to estimate the social footprint of a higher education institution (HEI) and its potential contribution Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under life cycle assessment (LCA) perspective. The organisational (SO-LCA) academic activity University Basque Country (UPV/EHU), in northern Spain, has been performed, order impacts. Method run using openLCA software sup...

This work has calculated the organisational environmental and social footprint of University Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2016. First, input output data flows UPV/EHU activity were collected. Next, impacts academic modelled, using Ecoinvent 3.3 database with PSILCA-based Soca v1 module openLCA software. In order to evaluate impacts, CML ReCiPe LCIA methods used. The Social Impact Weighting Metho...

Over the years, innovation and development of electrical electronic equipment have been on a steep rise. Millions electronics are being sold or discarded every year in form waste. Sustainable IT (Green Circular Computing) is one most environment-friendly methods reusing waste user electronics. The remanufacturing computer refers to disassembly, repair, upgrade original give it new life, along w...

Packaging plays a key role in preserving food products during transportation. Therefore, selecting proper packaging crates to transport fruits from farms the market can dramatically reduce loss and waste. This study aims evaluate environmental impact of two alternatives when transporting citrus Jordan using ratio, as an indicator select best packaging, based on traveled distances. The research ...

Brazil has emerged as the world’s largest soybean producer and exporter in recent years. In Brazilian Amazon Biome, state of Pará become a new agricultural frontier over last two decades due to significant increase cultivation throughout its territory. However, it is essential understand associated effects on environment at every point supply chain. This research aims measure chain production p...

The CO2 emission is more than 36 billion tons per year in global scale. As carbon dioxide raises temperature by trapping solar energy the atmosphere, research ongoing to facilitate capture of with high efficiency. While footprint Bangladesh relatively low, upcoming coal-based power plants (>17000 MW) next decade, fossil will increase significantly. To understand underlying benefit process, c...

This study describes the influence of orchard cultural practices during productive process cherries on environmental impact in terms energy, air, soil and water through a “farm to market” Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The results were used identify that contribute significantly find solutions reduce those impacts, serving as best guide improving performance benchmarks for other national internat...

Olive cultivation is expanding rapidly in the northwestern part of Greece, under both rainfed and irrigated practices. Irrigation can result larger yields economic returns, but trade-offs water–energy–pollution nexus remain a controversial challenging issue. This study presents an environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Greek olive orchard systems plain Arta (Epirus), comparing (baseline), De...
