Plastic debris into the environment is a growing threat for the ecosystems and human health. The seafood sector is particularly concerned because it generates plastic losses and can be endangered by plastic contamination. Life cycle assessment (LCA) does not properly consider plastic losses and related impacts, which is a problem in order to find r...
The Landes de Gascogne forest, located in southwestern France, spans nearly 10,000 km2 and consists largely of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). This forest in unique to Europe because it is almost entirely created and managed by man for specific industries. On the basis of a material flow analysis, we assessed the upstream supply chain of maritime p...

Purpose Scientific Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) literature provides some examples of LCA teaching in higher education, but not a structured overview of LCA teaching contents and related competencies. Hence this paper aims at assessing and highlighting trends in LCA learning outcomes, teaching approaches an...
The Inco-Piles project is funded by EIT RawMaterials and aims at establishing and developing innovative technologies for the sustainable extraction of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) from mining waste, with a focus on RIS strategic area. For more information on the project, please check: https://site.unibo.it/inco-piles-2020/en
As part of the projec...
The Forum for Sustainability through Life Cycle Innovation (FSLCI), the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology UMSICHT and the Université de
Bordeaux organized a joint workshop on the subject of "Linking the Life Cycle Inventory and Impact Assessment of Marine Litter and Plastic Emissions" on 18th March 2020. The

Currently, in the European Union (EU), e-waste chain performance is assessed by technical indicators that aim to ensure system compliance with collection and recovery targets set by the WEEE Directive. This study proposes indicators to improve WEEE flow monitoring beyond the current overall weight-based approach, including complementary flows and t...
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is among the key urban mining stream due to its composition and rising volume. Currently, in the European Union, WEEE chain performance is mainly assessed by technical indicators that aim to ensure system compliance with collection and recovery targets set by the WEEE Directive. The WEEE Directive an...
Les Déchets d’Équipements Électriques et Électroniques (DEEE) sont parmi les principaux flux de mines urbaines en raison de leur composition et de leur volume croissant. Actuellement, dans l'Union Européenne (UE), la performance de la filière DEEE est évaluée principalement au moyen d'indicateurs techniques qui visent à garantir la conformité aux o...
Nowadays the screens collected by the official e-waste schemes in France are mostly comprised of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT). Nevertheless, Flat Panel Display (FPD) collection should increase in the following years. Among other differences in material compositions, FPD screens have higher plastic content. In order to keep complying with the recycling ta...
Efficiency indicators have been frequently used to assess end-of-life chain performance, mostly. In terms of the percentage of mass sent to re-use, recycling, and/or energy recovery facilities. While legislation gives a standard definition for recycling and recovery rates, stakeholders sometimes redefine them to better fit their own scopes and obje...

Transport is an inherent activity of recycling chains. In LCA studies of e-waste recycling, the transport during the end-of-life management is either not considered or the distances are estimated and are not in accordance with reality. When transport is comprised in LCA boundaries, depending to the type of product then material, there is no consens...
Efficiency indicators have been frequently used to assess end-of-life chain performance. While legislations give a standard definition, sometimes stakeholders redefine them to fit their own scopes and objectives. It is therefore necessary to fully understand the indicators calculation scope in order to accurately interpret the results during a deci...
This work presents a case study for a tablet treated in France. The objective was to assess the impacts of the end-of-life stage and its influence in the final results when considering different waste management scenarios. After a first analysis of the global electronic waste management scenario, three scenarios were selected: (1) optimistic scenar...
This work presents a study of six construction products: sand, gravel, clay block, concrete block, ready-mix concrete and mortar. National LCIs were developed using primary data collected at manufacturers located in the State of São Paulo, and upstream and downstream processes were based on the ecoinvent database. Datasets available in ecoinvent de...
Uncertainty estimation is an important part of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This work presents a study carried out for nine construction products in Brazil, with the aim of estimating the uncertainty of the Global Warming Potential (GWP) indicator and analyzing its main sources. Product Life Cycle Inventories (LCIs) were developed based on national...
Brazilian municipalities are responsible for handling and solving the municipal solid waste (MSW) problem by organizing their management system. Unfortunately, most of the municipalities do not have the necessary technical infrastructure to meet the legal guideline on solid waste. To support technological advances in MSW management, the State of Sã...
O objetivo deste artigo é discutir aspectos metodológicos relacionados à aplicação da Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV), do berço ao portão, para avaliação de desempenho ambiental de produtos da construção. A metodologia consiste no estudo das normas e referências sobre ACV e na coleta de dados primários para elaboração de inventários de ciclo de vi...
Resumo. Na versão 3 da base de dados Ecoinvent foi apresentada uma nova forma de contabilização da água, que visa modelar todas as entradas e saídas de água para possibilitar o " balanço de água " em cada processo elementar. Além disso, para grande parte dos processos industriais, foram propostas taxas de evaporação padrão. Neste contexto, este art...
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a estimativa de incertezas em ACV, utilizando-se três procedimentos de cálculo, a partir de dados de inventários da produção de blocos cerâmicos de uma fábrica localizada no Estado de São Paulo (berço ao portão). O primeiro procedimento para a estimativa de incertezas consistiu na atribuição de modelos...
Este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver o inventário de ciclo de vida para madeira empregada na estrutura de telhado de edificações populares do Estado de São Paulo, com base na adaptação de inventários existentes na base de dados Ecoinvent (versão 3.1) para a realidade da produção madeireira no Brasil. Considerou-se como sistema de produto a...
A utilização de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos vem crescendo em todo o mundo e, consequentemente, a quantidade de resíduos após o final da vida útil desses equipamentos. A fim de avaliar os impactos ambientais associados ao ciclo de vida de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos, nos últimos dez anos, alguns estudos de avaliação do ciclo de vida (ACV) fora...
In France is estimated a generation of about 17 and 23 kg per year of WEEE per inhabitant. However, in 2014, the return rate for household WEEE reached only 38% of the total market input. The French regulation targets higher collection rates for the next years: 45% between 2016 and 2019, and 65% after 2019 of the total market input. The aim of this...
A crescente preocupação com sustentabilidade na construção civil traz à tona a necessidade de métodos confiáveis de avaliação do desempenho ambiental de materiais e componentes, dentre os quais se destaca a Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV), que permite extrair indicadores ambientais objetivos por meio da compilação e avaliação das entradas, saídas...
