This study aims to identify the environmental impact in synthesis of antistatic bionanocomposites compared polypropylene synthesis. It is done using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method with SimaPro 9.1.1 software. The results showed that 2% M-DAG and 2.5% CNC can reduce PP. indicated by decline value per categories, namely 4.46% ADP, 3.70% ADP-FF, 4.21% GWP, 4.48% ODP, 4.63% HTP, 5.10% FWAEP, 4....

Today, life cycle assessment (LCA) is the most widely used approach to model and calculate environmental impacts of products processes. The results LCAs are often said be deterministic, even though real-life applications uncertain vague. uncertainty, which may simply ignored, one key factors influencing reliability LCA outcomes. Numerous sources uncertainty in classified various ways, such as p...

Abstract Life Cycle Assessment was used to evaluate onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS): aerobic unit (ATU) with reinforced concrete (C.ATU) and HDPE (H.ATU) tank; constructed wetland (CW) three biochar concentrations in the substrate (0%; 10, 20% v:v), dubbed CW.BC0, CW.BC10 CW.BC20, respectively. CML 2001 SimaPro® impacts of 1 m3 wastewater. The OWTS were compared on their overall envi...

By posing the question of what will be definition sustainable development in future, it can almost seen that principle “no waste” and production new materials with less a negative environmental impact have high priority. To further develop environmentally friendly materials, is necessary to know about drivers as well evaluate effects conventional construction. According definitions characterist...

Are small-scale wind turbines green? In this study, we perform a ‘cradle to grave’ life cycle assessment of novel domestic-scale 10 kW vertical axis turbine tree which uses combined Savonius and H-Darrieus blades. Situated at test site in Surat Thani, Thailand, SimaPro software was used evaluate the environmental impact profile tree. Comparisons Thai grid mix were made, using both with without ...

Chicken meat agroindustry is one of the industries that contribute to environmental impacts. The impacts are due use resources, energy, and waste along chicken chain. This study aimed evaluate life cycle chain from cradle-to-grave using a assessment (LCA) approach. data inventory consisted inputs outputs five sub-systems: feed production, broiler production on farm, carcass at slaughterhouse, s...

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was applied to identify the potential environmental impact of dredged sediments used as growing media for food crops. came from Livorno port and were previously phytoremediated. For assay, strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa Duch vr. ‘San Andreas’) used. cultivated on three different substrates (100% peat, 100% sediment 50% mix peat/sediment) real ...

The aim of this study is to assess the environmental impacts household life cycles in Santiago, Chile, by income level. assessment considered scenarios associated with policies. cycle was cradle-to-grave, and functional unit all materials energy required meet an inhabitant’s needs for one year (1 inh/year). Using SimaPro 9.1 software, Recipe Midpoint (H) methodology used. impact categories sele...

This paper presents an environmental impact assessment of the entire cycle existence tube-vacuum solar collector prototype. The innovativeness solution involved using a phase change material as heat-storing material, which was placed inside collector’s tubes-vacuum. PCM used in this study paraffin. system boundaries contained three phases: production, operation (use phase), and disposal. An eco...
