This paper combines process design and modelling with life cycle sustainability assessment to identify opportunities for improving the environmental and economic performance in the cheese industry. Considering both the production and consumption perspectives, the study considers first a range of improvement options in the cheese manufacturing proce...

This study evaluates the life cycle environmental sustainability of cheddar cheese with energy recovery from cheese whey via anaerobic digestion. Environmental hotspots and improvement opportunities along the supply chain are also identified. The cheddar cheese production process has been simulated by using Aspen Plus. The environmental impacts hav...
