Several MW processes are included such as landfill of several types of waste, and similarly for incineration recycling of base metals and precious metals as well as recycling of materials (e.g., paper, plastic, glass, etc.) and the ability to model energy recovered from landfills. Ninety-nine percent of land occupation is for the growth of the trees for pulp production. Electricity mixes can also be modeled individually. Pulp provides significant offsets to balance climate change impacts due to sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by pulp, electricity, papermaking, and landfill methane from the disposed product, drive climate change impacts. Climate change, land occupation, and particulate matter are also relevant. So, the question is that this model will continue to consider many processes because a supply in a product will change the demand in another (so complex) Is there any criteria for this in ecoinvent (v 3. Pulp production, electricity, and fuels for product production drive fossil fuel depletion. Production of PV electricity will result in a decrease in other sources of electricity production such as natural gas, hydro, etc. After normalization of the results, fossil fuel depletion is the most critical environmental indicator.

Results of the LCA indicate Box Elder had improvements on environmental impact scores related to air emission indicators, except for particulate matter. product flows) in openLCA follows this schema: Figure 3: Example of ecoinvent v.3.2, consequential long-term intermediate exchanges in openLCA v.1.4.

The new metrics can guide supply chain and manufacturing enhancements, and product design related to environmental protection and resource sustainability. The name of the intermediate exchanges (i.e. This is unique in that it includes use of Industrial Process Systems Assessment (IPSA), new electricity and pulp data, modeled in open source software, and is the basis for the development of new integrated sustainability metrics (published separately). This study is a LCA that calculates the potential impacts associated with Bounty ® paper towels from two facilities with different production lines, an older one (Albany, Georgia) representing established technology and the other (Box Elder, Utah), a newer state-of-the-art platform. For output I only used a dummy flow 'transformer used'. Modeled the use phase of transformer using calculated amount of energy (divided into fractions depending on energy mix at location) as an imput. Methods that build on LCA strengths and illuminate other connected but less understood facets, related to social and economic impacts, would provide greater value to decision-makers. Calculated the amount of energy loss throughout the use-phase life of transformer using a well-known formula. However, companies committed to sustainability are interested in more methods that examine their products and activities' impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a well-established and informative method of understanding the environmental impacts of consumer products across the entire value chain.
