1 HUPLEE - 1st Hungary-Poland-Estonia LCA Seminar Ecobalancing analysis of operation period and disposal processes of food industry machines and devices Jedrzej Kasprzak Poznan University of Technology, Poznan, Poland Institute of Machines and Motor Vehicles 1

2 Contents: 1) Introduction 2) Goal and scope of research 3) Methods 4) Objects 5) Realization and results 6) Conclusions 2

3 Introduction (1) Actual tendencies Legal regulations Ecolabelling i eco-certification certification Difficulties in ecoballancing slight interest of enterprises difficult access to data lack of information However Need for ecological evaluations of technical objects 3

4 Introduction (2) Review summary: environmental analyses mainly concern production processes very few and fragmentary analyses of exploitation and disposal processes, based on the data from production no real exploitation and disposal data used 4

5 Goal and scope (1) Main goal: analysis of environmental impacts resulting from exploitation and related disposal processes, in relation to the food industry machinery representatives 5

6 Goal and scope (2) Goal achievement criteria: quantitative evaluation of the level of environmental impacts of selected food industry machinery representatives, during the operation period and related disposal processes and the determination of impacts sources 6

7 Goal and scope (3) Particular goals: method s application choice of objects of research identification of the constituents of environmental impacts of operation period identification of the constituents of environmental impacts related to disposal processes determination of the conditions for the level of environmental impacts propositions of optimization activities 7

8 8 Methods Methods (1) (1) /- Planning Standardization Allocation /- Objectivity Measurability Completeness /- /- /- Orientation on object Total environmental circulations method Critical volumes method Ecopoints Fecker method Life Cycle Analysis LCA Criterion LCA Life Cycle Assessment of products

9 Methods (2) Environmental impacts categories: 1) Ecosystem quality: ecotoxicity, acid/eutrophistation eutrophistation, land use, 2) Human health: respiration diseases organic, non organic, climate changes, ozone layer depletion, carcinogens, radiation, 3) Natural resources depletion: minerals, fossil fuels. 9

10 Objects (1) Fillers: working in 2 filler lines Exploitation data: exploitation media consumption, spare parts consumption, production value, schedule of repairs and redecorations, failures, service activities Disposal processes related to operation period: real scenarios of disposal of the exploitation media and materials analyzed in: 2001, 2002, 2003,

11 Objects (2) Filler M1 Filler M2 11
