LCA software for environmental impact assesment of injected moulded plastic parts
Authors: Ana Elduque, Daniel Elduque, Carmelo Pina, Carlos Javierre, Ángel Fernández
Abstract
A software for the simulation of the environmental impact of injected moulded plastic parts is presented in this paper. The LCA model and assumptions made for calculations are explained, and the software?s interface is shown. A case study is carried out in order to provide a clearer explanation of the applicability of this environmental impact simulation software. Results show how the raw material is the most influential factor. In second position is the injection moulding process, which has been modelled in detail, depending on many parameters.
