2 Objectives Get an overview of energy consumption and environmental emissions associated with production, use and disposal of P&G compact liquid and compact powder laundry detergents on a country basis. Identify major contributing phases in the detergent LCI for improvement opportunities. Get accurate evaluation of the effect of product design and consumer habits on the environmental profile of a product. 2

7 Databases used Surfactants: Stalmans et al Builders: Landbank 1994, EMPA 1997, FAL Polymers: Landbank 1994, FAL Bleaches: EMPA (1998? to be published). Proteases: Kluppel et al. 1995, Schmidt Brighteners: Ciba Geigy Formulation: Franke et al Washing machines: Group for Efficient Appliances, Moller 1995 Wastewater treatment: European Technical Guidance Document of the Risk Assessment Directive (EEC 93/67) Consumer habits: P&G internal database. 7

8 Main assumptions Functional Unit: 1 wash cycles. Cleaning performance not included, but product performance comparable. Detergent ingredient LCIs are mainly from published studies complemented with internal P&G and supplier data. BUWAL 25 is used as the energy database source for all new processes, but other databases have been used (BUWAL 13, Dr. I. Boustaed, ETH). Product packaging data (detergent box) are not integrated in current work. However, some data will be presented, originating from other applications. 8

9 Main assumptions Solid waste is related to energy production, intermediate packaging and sludge generation during wastewater treatment. Solid waste from energy production has been calculated from ETH database. Water consumption during the washing process (related to heating) is included in this study, but energy consumption and associated environmental emissions due to the preparation of drinking water are not included in this study. All disposal of detergents is assumed to be into sewer system. 9

10 Product assumptions Dosage Use Prewash 1 Temperature 1 4C 6C 9C Transport P&G to retail Retail to consumer Compact liquid 1 ml/wash 5 % 64 % 28 % 6 % 5 km truck not considered Compact powder 75 g/wash 11 % 37 % 47 % 15 % 5 km truck not considered 1. P&G Market Research Database

13 1 Liquid compact detergent Overview for selected endpoints SUPPL. MANUF. TRANSP. USE Solid BOD CO2 ENERGY WWTP 6 Powder compact detergent SUPPL. MANUF. TRANSP. USE Solid BOD CO2 ENERGY WWTP 13

14 Main Conclusion > 75% of Energy consumption occurs at consumer phase, due to heating of water. Most of the air emissions occur at the use phase and are mainly energy related. > 98% of the BOD emissions occur at the WWTP, but this represents less than 8% of total BOD present in product (weighted average). Solid waste represents ashes from energy combustion, packaging and sludge generation. 14

15 Energy consumption: Liquid vs Powder 14 GJ Liquid Powder Suppl. Manuf. Trans. Use Pack. WWTP Less energy consumption at the use phase due to lower wash temperatures. 15

16 Total solid waste: Liquid vs Powder - Total solid waste at supplier higher for liquid detergent due to type of ingredients used (high surfactant level). GJ Liquid Powder - At use phase, solid wastes are energy related and therefore higher for powder. 4 2 Suppl. Manuf. Trans. Use Pack. WWTP - Higher generation of sludge for the powder detergent due to the builder system (Zeolithe). kg Liquid Powder 5 Suppl. Manuf. Trans. Use Pack. WWTP 16

19 Main Conclusions: Liquid vs Powder Supplier Manufacturer Transportation Use Packaging WWTP and + - LCI study showed a balanced environmental profile of compact liquid and powder detergents. - There is clear opportunity to improve the overall LCI by promoting lower wash temperature. - Compacting of liquid detergents has improved drastically their overall environmental profile. 19

20 Conclusions: still a need for data... Formula incomplete : LCI are not available for all ingredients (65 to 75% of the ingredients on a weight basis). Ingredient LCIs should be updated. Discriminative power of the technique does not allow a strict comparison of products within same category but allow a relative comparison. Need to integrate a sensitivity analysis. 2
