Abstract Plastic waste management in Indonesia is relatively poorly implemented due to the limited number of recyclers. One most abundant plastic wastes multilayer metallized packaging (MLP). This study was conducted analyze environmental impacts MLP and bag conversion paving blocks (PVB) with a life cycle assessment approach aimed determine whether such process brings positive or negative surr...

Particleboard is not entirely a wood replacement but particular material with its properties, making it more effective at different times than heavy or solid wood. The world’s biggest concern environmental problems formaldehyde as particulate board binder that can lead to human carcinogenic agents.

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...
