1 Application of Life Cycle Assessment in the Zimbabwean Pulp and Paper industry L. MASHOKO and C. MBOHWA Acknowledgements Pre Consultants and UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative support with SIMAPRO software award
2 Justification Paper industry consumes a lot of resources LCA stimulates conservation, resources are finite, trees, recycled paper, energy Energy depletion, global energy crisis possibility Adverse climate changes due to industrial emissions
3 Objectives Identify processes where resources can be optimized Estimate system s overall resource use, energy consumption, chemical consumption and environmental impacts Development of new processes, or activities toward reduction of resource requirements and emissions Promoting green design and manufacturing in newspaper production
4 Methodology ISO Principles and framework, ISO Goal and scope definition and inventory analysis, ISO Life cycle impact assessment and ISO Life cycle interpretation Four steps- Goal and scope definition, Inventory analysis, Impact assessment, Interpretation Data from pulp and paper industry in Zimbabwecollected through questionnaires, site visits and from databases Used SimaPro software- provided by Pre consultants of Netherlands through UNEP
5 Methodology Impact categories assessed using the Ecoindicator 99 (H), Version 2.03 of the SimaPro software version 7.0. Non-renewable resource depletion (NRRD) determined using the Cumulative Energy Demand, Version 1.03 of the SimaPro software.
6 Process flow chart for production of newsprint paper INPUT: Raw materials: wood, water, and chemicals: Energy: coal, diesel, and electricity Raw material and energy acquisition Wood, energy, water, chemicals Manufacturing, processing: pulping, papermaking, and packaging Distribution, transportation Use, reuse, maintenance Recover, recycle OUTPUT Usable products Newsprint paper Bi- products: paper for butcheries, wood for domestic purposes Environmental impacts Airborne emissions: CO 2, SO 2, NO X, etc Water effluents: BOD, COD, metals Solid wastes: bark, sludge, paper, etc Other environmental releases
7 Impact categories/ Characterisation Renewable resource- hydropower, water, Non-renewable resources- coal Environmental impact categories-green house effect due to CO 2, CH 4, N 2 O, CCl 4 - stratospheric ozone deletion due to CFCs, HCFs, halons, CO, N 2 O, COS - acidification due to SO 2, No x, HCl

17 Results of impact assessment Greatest contributor to CO 2 emission- pulping and paper making processes- coal to produce steam Pulping- predominant role in global warming impact category due to carbon dioxide emissions Transportation main source of NOX impact categories-eutrophication and acidification categories. Contribution of disposal stage not explored due to lack of data and system boundaries Conclusions agreed with earlier Cleaner Production Assessment and rough cut Excel analysis. More accuracy needed
18 Recommendations Improve boiler efficiencies and reduce steam leaks Improve metering systems in factory- generates real data instead of estimations and approximations. Carry out a feasibility assessment for investment in a wood or bark fired boilers. 23 tonnes of bark and offcuts produced daily at one of the factories Transportation- Use railway system where applicablemore fuel-efficient compared to road. Modify models and software to accommodate specific data and location
