LIFE CYCLE INVENTORY OF 100% POSTCONSUMER HDPE AND PET RECYCLED RESIN FROM POSTCONSUMER CONTAINERS AND PACKAGING

The life cycle inventory (LCI) presented in this study quantifies the total energy requirements, energy sources, atmospheric pollutants, waterborne pollutants, and solid waste resulting from the production of recycled PET and HDPE resin from postconsumer plastic. This analysis does not include impact assessment. It does not attempt to determine the …

Use of Statistical Entropy and Life Cycle Analysis to Evaluate Global Warming Potential of Waste Management Systems

The statistical entropy (SE) function has been applied to waste treatment systems to account for dilution or concentration effects on metals. We later extended it to account for carbon flows, especially in waste management systems involving thermal treatment. Now, a simple lifecycle “net energy” metric – encompassing the “lost energy” …
