Life cycle environmental analysis and life cycle costing of high wear-resistant rubber hoses

Authors Dong, Yahong; Zhao, Yating; Liu, Peng Abstract Rubber hoses have been widely adopted for pumping ready-mixed concrete on construction site. The service life of a rubber hose can be considerably influenced by wear resistance. In our laboratory study, high wear-resistant (HWR) rubber hoses were designed and recently the HWR rubber hoses has been put [...]

Allocating Recycling Benefits in Lifecycle Assessment for Plastics: Categorization and Use of Product Property Specifications as per Value Chain

Authors Golkaram, Milad; Mehta, Rajesh Abstract A major challenge in lifecycle assessment (LCA) of plastic products is allocation of the environmental burdens associated with the production of virgin plastics in the first and subsequent product lifecycles. Many end of life allocation approaches are used in plastics LCAs such as cut-off, 50:50, avoided burdens, and open [...]
