Plastic leakage of packaging in LCA – a theoretical framework

Session MO.3.D || Addressing Marine Litter Within Life Cycle Assessment and Management Authors Scagnetti, Carla; Lorenz, Manuel Abstract The proposed theoretical framework explores how packaging could be assessed from gate-to-grave including the probability to become litter. A growing number of studies have confirmed the omnipresence of plastic pollution. Likewise, it has been revealed that marine [...]

Drivers and limitations of a blockchain-based information exchange system for LCA – Insights from the aerospace sector.

Session TU.1.E || Digital Technologies for a Circular Economy Authors Galindo Schaly, Sebastian; Strehle, Elilas; Pukies, Gaston Abstract Product life cycles are becoming increasingly complex and decentralized. Raw material acquisition, multi-tier manufacturing, maintenance and re-use or recycling activities are spread along a myriad of companies along the value chain. Hence, it is often difficult to [...]

Application of entropy production to compare the environmental sustainability of industrial processes in Entropy-LCAs

Session WE.1.C || Methodological Approaches to Assess Life Cycle Consequences Authors Rapf, Matthias; Tang, Longhan; Pekgil, Gizem; Kranert, Martin Abstract In LCA practice, weighting and valuation of environmental impacts is strongly based on subjective impressions and decisions. This makes LCAs with similar scopes very hard to compare. We are therefore examining entropy production as physical [...]
